DS is in Y1. His School have adopted Read write inc this year (previously Jolly Phonics).
He has guided reaching once a week, and daily WRI sessions, but he doesn't read one to one with a teacher.
Apparently as he is doing well he doesn't get any one to one reading. I feel that this puts added pressure on me to guide him properly at home. I'm very happy to read with him each night, and we both really enjoy bedtime stories. But I do feel pressure to make sure I explain things to him in a way that is consistent with what he is taught in school- otherwise I will confuse him.
Anyway, I know that the term magic e is now outdated. He does struggle over the concept of an 'e' changing a letter sound to a letter name- and I'm not sure if there is a clever way to explain it? I would live to know how this is covered in the read write inc program.
Can anyone help?

Does anyone know the 'proper' way to explain 'magic e' in phonics?
