Can you believe we are already into Week 6 of Remote Learning!  We are very proud of the achievements and progress our little Foundation children have made this term and we especially can’t wait to see their happy faces again next week.

This term we introduced Sound Boxes, initially through SMART Spelling and then through the children’s writing.  Sound Boxes help students build phonological awareness by segmenting words into sounds or syllables. They teach students how to count the number of phonemes in the word (not always the number of letters) and they help students better understand the alphabetic principle in decoding and spelling.  Our Foundation children have been practicing their use of Sound Boxes and they have been doing amazing work in their writing activities.  Here are some examples of some of this amazing writing.
