Phonics

For our last week before the summer we are going to practise the phoneme er.

 

Remember er is a digraph (2 letters that make 1 sound) and make the same sound as last week’s phoneme ur.

 

 

 

Words to practise:

 

hammer

letter

rocker

ladder

supper

dinner

boxer

better

summer

banner

                       

How many other er words you can find?

 

Sentence for writing:

 

The farmer gets up at six in the summer.

You and I can meet on the corner.

 

Yes/No question (for reading):

 

Can a hammer chop wood?

 

Here are some high frequency words to learn, try putting them into a sentence with one of the er words for writing.  For example:    The children came for dinner.  I asked to sit in the digger.  I could hit the log with the hammer.

 

asked               came

back                 children

big                   come  

but                   could

called

 

Keep practising all the sounds and tricky/high frequency words over the summer and I look forward to seeing you in September.
