Students in Year 1 have been undertaking InitiaLit since the beginning of the year.
During this time children have been learning to manipulate sounds to make new words. We even make ‘nonsense’ words to strengthen our understanding of the target sound and build the foundations to become successful readers and writers. The classes run each morning with reading, songs, actions and practise…lots of practise!
The Storybook component of InitiaLit has been a firm favourite in Year 1 and this term, we will be using these texts to develop and strengthen our writing skills. We now have our InitiaLit classes set up on Seesaw, so keep an eye out for some wonderful work from our Year 1 students.
