In Phase 3 children continue to use all the sounds they were taught in Phase 2. In addition, they are taught additional sounds (phonemes) and the letters / groups of letters that represent them (graphemes). The information and resources in this section are designed to support you in helping your child at home - please feel free to speak with your child's class teacher if you require any additional information or support.
In this Phase a further 25 letters and graphemes are taught. The final two sets of letters are taught first.
|
Set 6 |
j / v / w / x |
|
Set 7 |
y / z, zz / qu |
Once Sets 6 & 7 have been taught children learn about graphemes where more than one letter represents one sound e.g. the grapheme 'ai' represents one sound in the word 'rain'.
Click on each grapheme below to download a set of A5 flashcards with words containing this grapheme. Practise reading these with your child.
