These are the words we are learning in Emerald to make our writing SUPER! You already have these in your Home Learning Books but here is the full list again if you want to challenge yourself :)

Most of the words are easy to ‘sound out’ with phonics but some are ‘tricky’ i.e. you can’t always use your sounds to work them out. These will need to be learnt by sight to read and write which can be a bit tricky.

Try writing them out on cards and sticking them around the house. Decorate them, play games with them to spot the given word. Read them together then challenge your child to find them in a story you are reading. Also, phonicsplay.co.uk has some fantastic games to play or simply google ‘tricky word games’.
