New Speed Minute animated films!

These one-minute films on the Virtual Classroom are perfect for reviewing sounds speedily. Children review sounds three times, each time speedier than the last – great for extra practice!

Set 3 films are coming in April, with Set 2 following soon after.

Here’s the first film.

A daily Word Challenge for your class!

In Set 2 and Set 3 Word Challenge on the Virtual Classroom, children practise the ‘Special Friends, Fred Talk’ routine. They read a mix of real and nonsense words containing Set 1, 2 and 3 sounds. There is plenty of practice of reading words containing four and five sounds.

Perfect PSC practice once children know the sounds!
