Letters and Sounds
Below are the videos to show how the sounds are spoken - this is not the same as the alphabet. Tricky words are words that cannot be sounded out - they just have to be recognised by sight. These are gradually introduced.
| Phase | Video | Tricky Words | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Phase 2 video | • I • no • the |
• to • go • into |
| 3 | Phase 3 video | • he • she • we • me • be • was |
• you • they • all • are • my • her |
| 4 | Phase 4 – no new sounds are introduced. Children consolidate their knowledge and practise reading and writing CVCC words (consonant, vowel, consonant, consonant) e.g. tent and CCVC words (consonant, consonant, vowel, consonant) e.g. frog. | • said • have • like • so • do • some • come |
• were • there • little • one • when • out • what |
| 5 | Phase 5 (video to follow) | • oh • their • people • Mr • Mrs |
• looked • called • asked • could |
