I would love some advice on how to support DS in reading and phonics.
He is in Y1, reading green level books. I seem to remember the 'basics' of phonics fairly well, so last year (YR) when he was learning sounds and blending I was able to help him in a way that was consistent (I hope), with what he was being taught at school.
Also in YR parents were kept abreast of what phase of phonics DC were covering, so I tended to google each stage which helped.
I'm getting stuck now though, as I don't really know what comes 'next', so it is becoming harder to support DS. He was asking me about 'magic e' this evening, and I was lost!
He reads to me each evening (usually whichever book he has been sent home with), and I read to him a lot too. I just feel I'm a bit lost as to the nuts and bolts of the next stage.
His objectives for this half term in literacy are to write using punctuation- so that's not particularly helpful at pointing me in the right direction when it comes to reading....
Any help, links etc would be gratefully received.
