Listening

What can I do at home to help?

Listening walk: Go for a listening walk - walk slowly and quietly listening for different sounds, can you copy them.

Sounds: Can you make LOUD and quiet sounds with different objects around the house?

Listening game: https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/1/welcome-to-the-zoo

Hearing initial sounds: Listen carefully for the initial sounds in words. For example, I can hear 's' at the beginning of snake / 'c' at the beginning of cup. What can you hear at the beginning of 'tissues'?

Sound discrimination: Can you recognise and discriminate between sounds that you cannot see? You could play different sounds from BBC listening sounds - can they guess what these sounds are? Are they loud sounds or soft/quiet sounds? https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/eyfs-listening-skills/zbc4y9q

Play 'Match sounds' and 'What's behind the door' on https://www.phonicsbloom.com/uk/game/match-sounds?phase=1# / https://www.phonicsbloom.com/uk/game/whats-behind-the-door?phase=1
