What does this mean for
my child?
In their Rocket Phonics lessons, your child will learn to recognise, identify, say
and read all of the 44 sounds of the English language along with writing and
spelling them.
They will revisit sounds they have learned, learn new sounds, take part in
stimulating activities to practise and apply their reading, writing and spelling
skills and contribute to comprehension quizzes to check for understanding.
On pages 6 to 8 are the sounds in the order that your child will learn them and a
few examples of words that they will be able to read once each sound is learned
and retained. Along with example words, each sound for the Pink A, Pink B, Red
A and the majority of the Red B colour band sounds have a little tip with regards
to the pronunciation of the sound. For the later sounds in Red B and moving on
to Yellow book band sounds and beyond, it is much easier to say the example
words slowly a few times, as these letter-sound correspondences are much more
complex.
The sounds are grouped into colour bands, relating to the colour books that your
child will be able to read as they explore new letter-sounds.
