ECaT Talking Tip of the Month

Our 'Every Child a Talker; Talking Tip of the Month' is to develop children's oral blending and segmenting skills.  This helps to tune your child in to hearing sounds in words, which will help with their reading and writing.  

You can help to develop your child's awareness of blending and segmenting by modelling breaking down sounds in words. For example; "Where is the c-a-t?" Or "Can you see the r-e-d c-ar?". 

Remember to say the sounds as they are heard in a word, using a soft voice.

Please see a member of staff if you would like any more information.
