Love, love, love the idea of adding graphemes as the children learn them. A great way to provide repeated practice! 🤩
We’ve been using our keyrings to practise our Little Wandle GPC and tricky words. We add the graphemes as we learn them. 👍🏻

Wow! Super idea 🤩
We use our Little Wandle lanyards in EYFS and KS1 to practise our graphemes. We add a new grapheme each time we learn one. The children get lots of repeated practice throughout the day!
