Top tip(s): Whilst at the arch, ask the pupils why five letters are in blue, clarify why we use vowels. This arch is regularly used in PE lessons as well as Active Phonics sessions. The arch can also be used as a visual aid when reciting the alphabet, or when looking at letter names rather than sounds.
