Our Words of the week are: are, car, party, park, or, for, more
we will be exploring the "bossy r" sounds made by or and ar this week. Can your child remember what sounds or and ar make? Please watch the videos under the word work session and practice these words a little bit each night. Please remember that the main priority is on learning to read these words by sight and once your child becomes confident with this they can practice spelling them!
