Phase 5
Children entering Phase Five will already be able to read and spell words such as trap and milk. They will also be able to read and spell words with more than one syllable. They will then be taught alternative graphemes and split diagraphs. Phase 5 is a very large phase and is split into three parts involving the alternative and split digraphs below.
