Phase 5a
Children entering Phase 5a are able to read and spell words containing adjacent consonants and some polysyllabic words. The purpose of this phase is for children to broaden their knowledge of graphemes and phonemes for use in reading and spelling. They will learn the following letter/sounds:
ou /ow/, ea /ee/, ay /ai/, ie /igh/, ue /oo/, ue /yoo/, oy /oi/, aw /or/, ir /ur/, wh /w/, ph /f/, au /or/, ew /o-o/, ew /yoo/, oe /oa/,
a-e /ai/, e-e /ee/, i-e /igh/, o-e /oa/, u-e /o-o/, u-e /yoo/, si /zh/
su /zh/
Some of the alternatives will already have been encountered in the high-frequency words that have been taught. Children become quicker at recognising graphemes of more than one letter in words and at blending the phonemes they represent. When spelling words they will learn to choose the appropriate graphemes to represent phonemes and begin to build word-specific knowledge of the spellings of words.

Lesson 95: Guidance
Ask children to sound talk and show fingers for the word ‘tie’.
Ask children what needs to be added to ‘tie’ to make ‘time’.
Sound-talk the word ‘time’ and explain that although there are graphemes for each phoneme this is not the correct spelling of ‘time’, as words like this are written slightly differently.
Explain that in this word we need to separate the two letters in the grapheme and tuck the final sound in between.
