Phase 2: Week 6 – Learning to Read Revision

Sharing is caring!

Well didn’t that go quickly? Week 6 and we’ve reached the end of our phase 2 phonics journey. This week we are recapping the sounds to help secure this phase in various practical ways before moving on to phase 3.

Please remember, if your child is learning using Read Write Inc., Jolly Phonics or another reading scheme, you can still use our practical activities and resources to support their learning, the order your child learns them might vary slightly. Take a look at Learn to Read with Phonics to find out more.

What are we reviewing this week?

Phase 2 has seen us learn LOTS of new phonemes (sounds), graphemes (letters), HFW words and tricky words…

Letters and sounds : S,A,T,P,I,N,M,D,G,O,C,K,CK,E,U,R,H,B,F,FF,L,LL and SS!

HFW : at, a, it, is, an, in, dad, and, got, on, not, can, get, up, mum, had, him, his, but, big, back, of, if, off

Tricky Words : the, to, no, go, I

Your child will need to learn the letter names like you say them when saying the alphabet (A, B, C) as well as the letter sounds. This is the same for the digraphs (2 letter sounds) for example ‘S and S’ make the ‘ss’ sound.

They will likely be presented with both the UPPERCASE (capitals) and lowercase (not capitals). When writing, they may focus on the lowercase formation, to begin with.

What can we do to recap Phase 2?

What words can I create?

Mix all of our phase 2 letters together to help your child to keep practising and you can create a wider range of words. For ideas on the simple, HFW and tricky words you can create with the letters we’ve learned so far, please look at our word lists .

Don’t forget, learning to read is not only about reading words. It’s vital for your child to interpret emotions, images and so on as it helps them to infer and to understand context or reasoning. This is why your child might bring home a book with no or very few no words in. If you are finding it hard to make this a meaningful, fun ‘reading’ experience, find out How to Read Wordless Books with your child or as the teacher may call it Talking Around the Book so that you both feel comfortable reading these books together in this journey you are on.

Phase 2 tricky words

Use our phase 2 tricky word cards  as phase 2 flashcards to help children learn to read tricky words. What are tricky words?  Tricky words are words that cannot be completely decoded, or can’t be decoded at all, at the stage of phonics learning the child is at. They need to be learned by sight, as they crop up regularly in reading texts and captions. It’s really important that children learn to read phase 2 phonics tricky words, and quite often, the best way to teach them is by using phase 2 tricky words flashcards. Another great way to learn tricky words is with our phase 2 tricky words rainbow activity , where children simply repeat the writing of each tricky word across a rainbow picture.

Phase 2 activities

You can help children with their phase 2 blending skills using these phase 2 caption cards – simply hold the card up in front of your class and word through blending each phoneme into the next one to form a word. Another way to encourage children to blend, is through phase 2 phonics games, such as this phase 2 caption and word matching activity . Have out in your provision area and encourage children to work in pairs to match the picture with the correct caption.

What is taught in phase 2 phonics?

In phase 2, the GPCs (grapheme, phoneme correspondences) are taught in sets, and are in the following order:

• Set 1: s a t p: explore our phase 2 set 1 phonics worksheets .
• Set 2: i n m d: explore our phase 2 set 2 words flashcards .
