Autumn 2 in Team EO

​In reading this half term, Team EO have continued to have a heavy focus on phonics - learning to read the letters by saying the correct sound. Children have spent time consolidating previously taught sounds and learning new sounds in their groups. We have spent time learning to read green word cards by doing ‘Fred Talk, Read the Word’, ‘Fred in Your Head’ and then reading the words speedily in our phonics groups. Some of us have also been trying to read tricky red words and high frequency words! Our core book this half term has been ‘Zog’, which we have enjoyed listening to over and over again. This has enabled us to join in with repeated phrases throughout the book.  We have also picked out vocabulary that was unfamiliar to us and we have discussed what these words mean.
