10 activities to further develop reading and writing skills in Early Years and KS1. Keywords and common blends.
Many children will learn to read simple and more unusual, or difficult words before they can write these words. Their reading will develop quicker than their writing.
When a child learns to read they will be blending sounds together to read the word, some words they will know by sight (these are words that can’t always be sounded out to read e.g. one, are, all etc).
When a child is learning to write they have many more things to focus on. The process is a bit more complicated.
For each word they write, they need to:
- know what they want to write
- spell the word / words e.g. by sounding out
- associate the sounds in each word to a letter/ letters
- hold a pencil
- use the pencil to form the letters
