This week in phonics, we have been learning the letter sounds g and o.

Sound focus

• g – as in goat, gate, get

• o – as in octopus, on, pot

At home, please can you:

• Say the sounds g and o clearly 

• Look for objects around the house that start with g or o and say them out loud.

• Practise reading and saying these words:

  • go, got, on, dog, log, pot

• Have a go at writing the letters g and o, remembering correct letter formation

More activities

• Play I Spy using the sounds g and o.

• Draw a picture of something that starts with g or o and label it.

• Read a short book and spot words with g and o.
