I am learning to sound out 3 letter words.

I am learning to say the first, middle and last sound in a word and then blend the sounds together to write the word.  This can help me in my reading and my writing.

" I can sound out letters because if I get mixed up I sound the words out. I can miss out the word so I can read back and work out the word." said Yanni

 Yanni, you are able to read on from any number up to 20. Next we will be working on ordering numbers to 20 and above.
