Where We Started: 
Mastering the 
BLetatesr  ics
LReeacrnoigngn tithieo nnames and shapes of letters 
(A-Z)
Letter Sounds
Understanding that each letter represents a phoneme 
(sound)
Simple Blending
CVC Words – Consonant-Vowel-Consonant 
combinations
Examples: cat, dog, hot, sit, run
The Goal: Establishing that letters represent sounds, and sounds 
blend to form words.
Next Challenge: Moving from simple three-sound words to 
more
complex, multi-sound structures.
Introducing Complexity: 
Consonant Teams
Consonant Blends (CCVC/CVCC)
Two or more consonants blended together, where each sound is 
still heard
Examples: black, stop, jump, 
fast
💡 
Tip: Practice segmenting and blending these longer sound 
chains.
Consonant Digraphs
Two consonants that make a single, new sound
Examples: ship, chop, thin, wheel
💡 Key Point: Spelling is not always one-to-one with 
sound.
Unlocking New Sounds: The Power of 
'Magic E'
Introducing the concept of a silent 'e' at the end of a word that changes the short vowel sound to a long 
vowel sound

Why This Matters
This phase introduces a key English spelling rule and significantly expands the child's 
reading vocabulary. Understanding the CVCe pattern opens the door to reading 
hundreds of new words and builds confidence in decoding unfamiliar text.
Mastering the Vowels: 
Teams and R-Controlled
Vowel Teams
Two vowels working together to make one sound (usually a 
long vowel sound)
Examples: ain, tree, boat, 
bRl-uCeontrolled Vowels (Bossy R)
The letter 'r' changes the sound of the preceding 
vowel
Examples: car, fork, bird
The Big Picture: These advanced phonics rules prepare 
children for reading words with complex and irregular 
spelling patterns. Mastery of these concepts 
significantly expands reading vocabulary and 
comprehension.
Phonics Meets Fluency: The Role 
of Sight Words
What are Sight Words?
Words that appear frequently in text but often do not follow standard phonics rules. 
Examples: the, was, said, have, where
Why Teach 
Them?
→ They boost reading fluency and comprehension
→ They allow children to read simple sentences before mastering all phonics 
→ Truhleeys reduce cognitive load, freeing mental resources for understanding 
Intmegeraantiniogn Strategy
Teach sight words alongside phonics to ensure a balanced approach to reading. This 
combination creates confident, fluent readers who can tackle both decodable and 
irregular words.
