[senco-forum] Y1 phonological awareness

Dear all
We have a group of children in y1 who are having great difficulties with  
blending - they simply "do not get it".  Difficulties include possible ASD  (2 
awaiting assessment), language delay and EAL.

Clearly they have weak phonological awareness and we will be looking at  ways 
to develop their skills, as well as using whole word and onset and rime  
strategies.  Does anyone have good ideas for activities / games which could  be 
used by a TA in a small group, or alternatively just some further  advice...

Many thanks.
