⭐ PHONICS ⭐️

Yesterday, I went into my daughters nursery to do a little phonics session with the school starters. It was ADORABLE and so many kids already knew some of the letter names and sounds. 

BUT… I did hear LOTS OF SCHWA SOUNDS! Adding a schwa to the end of sounds is very common but makes sounding and blending difficult - children can’t hear the word when you have blended it so it slows down the process. 

I’ll share a video showing the difference tomorrow, so stay tuned! 

My new book Read, Write, Play has a whole chapter showing you how to make each of the sound and the correct mouth movement. Go and check it out 🥰
