Caption Clips
One minute videos to get you writing.
Made for EYFS and Year 1.
No more hunting for photos to teach the Letters & Sounds 'Captions' activity.
Watch the video clip.
Turn to your partner and talk about what you can see.
Decide on a caption, (adults please press on the eye to check).
Say the phrase 3 times.
Write the caption on drywipes.
Then mark it together.
There's a help video here if you want to see more detail.
Have fun!

Phase 3, L&S Vowel Graphemes:
(Captions not from L&S)
I made up these captions as none exist in Letters and Sounds for this purpose. Apologies if
they are strange. It was a tricky to balance things children would recognise with things that used age-appropriate graphemes.

- ng  -a king with wings
- ai  -a snail on a train
- ee  -a tree with knees
- igh  -a bright light in the night

- ow  -a cow with a crown
- oi  -a coin in the soil

I didn't make one for 'ure' as I couldn't think of anything suitable!
