This week in Phonics we will be learning about the ‘u-e’ split digraph sound and investigating words with ‘yoo’ sound in them (such as cute and tube) and the ‘oo’ sound in them (such as flute and June). We will also be learning about the e-e split digraph in words such as complete and theme. We will also be reading the words ‘called’ and ‘asked’ and writing the words ‘what’ and ‘oh’.
