Reception Red Word of the Week!

This week's red word is.... she!

You might have noticed the bright cut outs on our classroom doors which have red words written on them. We have been using these as secret passwords to enter or leave the classroom, the children have to hit the button and say the red word before they go outside to play or come back into the classroom. A fun way to practice recognising these words on sight.

Red words are words that are tricky to read because you can not sound them out in the normal way e.g. ‘said’ or ‘the’. Your child needs to be able to read these words on sight. We like the 'sh' in she,  but the 'e' is tricky so we have to remember it!

You could look out for the red word of the week at home, out and about and in books and on signs. You may want to practice writing the red word, as these are words the children will need to be able to spell correctly at the end of Reception. Good luck!
