Reception Red Word of the Week

This week's red word is.... the!

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 'th' in the,  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!
