Challenge (Phase 4)
Did you make the ‘High Five’ tricky word game like these children last week?
Do you know all the words now? You could challenge yourself with new words or a different one of the activities we learned – magnetic letters, water painting, large chalk outside.
Or try this new idea:
Tricky word detectives!
You will need: Any books, magazines, newspapers or leaflets from around your home.
A pen and paper.
Adults – write a list like the picture. You can choose easier or harder words from your tricky word mat if you want to.
Be a tricky word detective! Search through the books – what tricky words can you spot? When you see one – give it a tick or draw a line. How many of each did you find? Which word did you find most and least of?

Spin the bottle – sounds!
Write the sounds on pieces of paper (use your sound mat and choose the sounds your child needs to practise) Put them in a circle. Put a bottle in the middle. Spin it round – what sound is it pointing at when it stops?
