Next week, in our phonics lessons, we’ll be learning about the j sound (phoneme) at the end of a word.
This is spelled -dge (that’s the grapheme) straight after short vowel sounds and -ge (a different grapheme) after all other sounds. Ask your child which words follow each pattern.
The children will be tested on the following words next Friday, 14 September.
There is space in their homework books for children to practise these words and it would be great to practise them in sentences so they also understand the meaning of the word.
