Phonics – Split digraph a-e

Thursday 30th September 201

This week we have been learning the long a sounds ay ai and a-e in Phonics.

We had great fun learning the split digraph a-e today. The children learnt that a split digraph needs two letters to make the long a sound but they have to be split and can not be next to each other. Another sound then goes between them.

We had a go making the words with children to show the a-e being split. We then wrote some of the words and drew a ‘banana’ to show the split digraph.
