Graphemes
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zdb3trd
Graphemes are written symbols that represent a sound. They can either be a single letter or a group of letters. For example the word otter is made up of the graphemes o - tt - er
You can learn to read and write lots of new words by breaking words down in to their graphemes.
Click on the box on Bitesize and play Small Town Superheroes. Go to the 'Sally and Percy' section and explore all the sounds under the 'Simple sounds' mini game.
Activity 1: Let's sound out some words
Choose six objects in your home and try to write them by sounding out the graphemes that make up the word.
- Try sounding out the graphemes for each word to help you spell them correctly.
- Once you've written the word for each item, circle the different graphemes.
