I just found this on the internet and thought it would be very useful. Ways to use dominoes in Maths. I used to spend hours with my children playing with dominoes and we used to make up different games with them.

Thanks again to suem for writing this little story for the /oo/ sound.

Teaching the alternative spellings of /air/

Thank you to Suem who wrote this little story for my year one/twos. Click on the image to open it. Right click and save to your computer. Insert into a word document.

Read the story to the children and get them to raise their hands each time they hear the /air/ sound. Then give children copies of the story for them to read and to underline each word with the /air/ sound. Children to shout out the words whilst you write them on the whiteboard into the different spelling patterns.
