Phase 3
Before children begin phase 3 they need to secure in their blend and segment skills. These two processes can sometimes take time to click but with daily practise at school and home can help embed them. The children then get taught the 6 remaining letters of the alphabet before moving onto the digraphs and trigraphs below.
