This week in phonics, we have been learning the ‘ll’ sound.
Sound focus:
ll – as in bell, hill, doll
At home, please can you:
Say the ‘ll’ sound clearly
Look for objects or words around the house that contain ll and say them out loud
Practise reading and saying these words: bell, hill, doll, ball, well, fill
Have a go at writing the ‘ll’ letters, remembering correct letter formation
More activities:
Play I Spy using words that contain the ‘ll’ sound
Draw a picture of something with ll in the word and label it (for example: ball or bell)
Read a short book and try to spot words that contain ll.
Challenge:
Have a go at writing some sentences using words with the ‘ll’ sound.
For example:
The bell will ring.
I can see a red ball.
The doll is on the bed.
We walk up the hill.
Try to write your own sentences using ll words such as ball, bell, hill, doll, well, fill. Remember to use capital letters, finger spaces, and a full stop.
