my four year old cried tonight because of phonics...

... and now she's saying she doesn't want to go to school tomorrow! She loves school usually, so it is sad to see her so upset. I've tried reassuring her, saying me, her dad and her big sister (who's 6!) will help her, but the tears wouldn't stop.
Got to get up at 5.30am for a big all day meeting tomorrow, but I'm sure this will be on my mind rather than work.
Any suggestions, please (sorry I won't be able to respond myself until tomorrow evening).

We used to watch phonics songs on YouTube and sing them together. It was a fun way of supporting his learning at home without him feeling as though he was 'trying'. Dd starts reception sept 2015 so will have it all again.
