Phase 2
Children will be taught these sounds, grouped into sets. Children are encouraged to begin blending these sounds straight away. After working only on set 1 children can begin to make words e.g. sat, at. pat. At this stage double consonants are taught to show children that sometimes more than one letter can make a single sound. At this stage, the double consonant makes the same sound as the single letter e.g. 'f' 'ff'. In stage 3 children learn that this is not always the case.
Below are some resources that you can use at home to support your child's learning.

Here are groups of words that children can practise reading when they have learnt the sounds:
Here are the high frequency words taught at this phase:
