I need a little bit of help with explaining some sounds to my daughter. In school they follow the jolly phonics (i think) and since doing the initial sounds in reception, they haven't brought any sounds home so i have no idea what they are learning. ("nothing" according to her) She is currently in year 1 but i think a little ahead in her reading than the majority of the class but i am now struggling to help her with the 'rules' when reading.
Things that have come up recently are...
when CH makes a c sound (she has had words like archaeology, chameleon and character)
when S makes a sh sound (measure, unusual, sugar etc)
Are there any rules to help explain when these happen?
we have also been having words ending in TION and SION are these taught as whole sounds?
Thanks in advance...
