This includes alphabet sounds and digraphs such as /sh/, /th/, /ai/, and /ue/
Learning letter formation:
Using different multi‐sensory methods, children learn how to form and write the letters
Blending:
Children are taught how to blend the sounds together to read and write new words
Segmenting:
Children learn to identify and break down the sounds in words
Tricky Words:
Children learn that there are irregular spellings for certain words
Step 2 –
Build on the initial teachingStep 2 builds on the teaching in Step1 following a similar format of daily revision and consolidation, along with extension topics for the week
The main alternative vowel spellings, capital letters and alphabet, new tricky words and guided writing activities are all introduced
Step 3 –
