Learning Overview

PHASE 2: Peaks 1 – 5: 19 letters, 23 graphemes, 143 words, 9 books
In Phase 2, children learn the sounds that letters make (phonemes). By the end of Phase 2 children
are reading some vowel-consonant (VC) and consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words. They also
know some high frequency ‘tricky words’ like ‘the’ and ‘go’. Children learn to sound out each phoneme
and blend these sounds together to read new words. For example, they will blend the sounds c-a-t
to make the word cat. They will also start learning to segment words for spelling. Letters and sounds
are introduced in this order: s, a, t, p, m, i, d, n, g, o, c, k, ck, e, r, u, l, h, f, b, ll, ss, ff.

In Phase 4, children blend and segment words containing the letters, sounds, and digraphs previously
taught in Phases 2 and 3. They consolidate this knowledge to blend and segment words containing adjacent
consonants, as well as polysyllabic words. The main focus of Phase 4 is on CVCC, CCVC, CCVCC, and CCCVC
words. For example, hand, swim, spend, and string.

In Phase 5, children blend and segment words containing the adjacent consonants taught in Phase 4. In
Phase 5, they learn more adjacent consonants, as well as polysyllabic words. Children learn new graphemes
and phonemes, and their alternative pronunciations when reading and spelling. Letters and sounds are
introduced in this order: ay, ie, ea, oy, ir, ou, ue, aw, wh, ph, ew, oe, au, ey, a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e. Children
learn alternative pronunciations of graphemes, with specific focus on: c, g, ow, ea, and y. They will also learn
alternative spellings for phonemes, with specific focus on: tch, dge, kn, wr, and mb.
