Dear parent,
We want your child to have the best start to their reading journey in school. Over the summer holidays, we would like you to watch these films with your child to familiarise them with the phonics program we use and how they will be taught to read.
Watch Virtual Classroom films
We’ll be sending links to:
- Speed Sound films

The plan
Praise your child as they join in with the lesson.
Set aside 10 minutes to watch the film with your child at least three times a week.
Find a quiet space for your child to watch the film on a laptop or tablet.
FRED GAMES
Speaking like Fred helps children to understand that words are made up of sounds. Use Fred Talk throughout the day to help children practise blending sounds together.
Fred says…
- Say: Fred says put your hands on your h-e-d. Ask children to repeat. Pause to allow children to jump in with the whole word and do the action.
- Say: h-e-d, hed. Ask children to repeat.
Repeat with: b-a-k, t-u-m, l-e-g, h-a-n-d, f-u-t, n-ee, r-u-n, s-k-i-p, h-o-p, s-t-o-p

Read aloud to your child every day
Did you know that being read to develops children’s comprehension, increases their vocabulary and grows their love of reading?
Visit your local library and choose books you can share and enjoy with your child. Your child will love to hear these same stories read again and again.
Your support matters.
Thank you
Broad Heath Community school
