Phase 3
In this phase a further 25 letters & 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 Set 6 & 7 have been taught children then learn about graphemes where more than one letter represents a single unit of sound.
| ch (as in chip) | ar (as in farm) |
| sh (as in shop) | or (as in for) |
| th (as in thin)* | ur (as in hurt) |
| th (as in then)* | ow (as in cow) |
| ng (as in ring) | oi (as in coin) |
| ai (as in rain) | ear (as in dear) |
| ee (as in feet) | air (as in fair) |
| igh (as in night) | ure (as in sure) |
| oo (as in book)** | er (as in her) |
| oo (as in boot)** |
* The grapheme 'th' represents more than one sound. You may need to listen closely to hear the difference.
** The grapheme 'oo' also represents more than one sound.
