Here are a few activities and games to help practise different phonemes at home.
DJ Cow – Phases 3-5
Phonics Play – good for reading different phonemes in real or ‘alien’ words.
Spelling City – Fun ways to practise spelling different words. (Type in the words and then select a game – warning it is an American site so it’s best to pick the games that don’t say the words out loud).
Alphablocks – Cbeebies – Clips, stories and games.
Letters and Sounds – Games, ideas, phonemes.
