Phonics Rave – the ‘d’ sound

The ‘d’ sound can be heard in words like ‘dad’, ‘dog’ and ‘duck’. Our Phonics Rave video looks at other words we can hear the sound in!

Phonics Rave – the ‘m’ sound

Our Phonics Rave series moves on to the ‘m’ sound. This sound gets lots of use in early-stage reading, spelling and phonics schemes and is often one of the first sounds children make before they know it when babbling as a baby!
