PHASE 4

In Phase 4 we are not learning any new sounds (phonemes). 
However we are learning to blend two or three consonants together. (i.e sp, spin or nt, went) which can be tricky and easily missed out when spelling or reading.  They are still individual sounds, you just need to master hearing & saying them, so you do not end up writing...

We use all the knowledge we have gained from the sounds in phase 2 & phase 3 to read and write more words.

The Night Before Christmas poem/story. By Clement Clarke Moore & Pop up by Robert Sabuda

As a young child I always read this on Christmas Eve to my Dad & Mum. Then our sons have in turn read to us. This pop up book is a delightful addition to the flat book I have, and full of treasured memories. Enjoy!
