Tricky Words

These are the list of tricky words that I am planning to go over with Mr A from the jolly phonics handbook. This is the reading scheme I have been using so far with Mr A to teach him how to read. He has also found the alphablocks game on the CBeebies website very helpful in picking up blending and forming words.

We also tried the BRI ARI reading scheme. But Mr A seems to get fed up of doing this after a short while as the books are not very exciting. I also find that going straight onto books in order to learn how to read is not the best way for us. This is where jolly phonics comes in, as their principle is to learn how to read as many words as possible with confidence before going onto books.
