The purpose of this phase is for children to broaden their knowledge of graphemes and phonemes for use in reading and spelling. Children will learn alternative pronunciations for graphemes they already know. 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.
Help pupils both at home and school with these daily activities for reading, spelling and writing. Spot and write alternative spellings for spoken sounds, as you read witty stories. Undertake tasks that promote reading for meaning as well as phonics. Simple notes of guidance for parents about Letters and Sounds and how they can help their child with the activities at home through e.g. the correct pronunciations of phonemes. You can also print a lined page for use in dictation that can be printed on the reverse. Also available as physical activity books in sassoon font from our shop.
