Supporting your child at home
Reading
The most important thing you can do with your child is listen to them read and find the time to share books together. Below you can find the video links to all of the sounds covered in the rocket phonics books. As a guide, your child should be on pink books in the Autumn term and red in the spring term and yellow by the end of the summer term.
