If your child is learning using Read Write Inc or Jolly Phonics, you can still use our practical activities and resources to support their learning, the order your child learns them might vary slightly.

Which letters and sounds are we learning this week?

The start of our phase 2 journey, has us learning 4 letters for this week: S, A, T, P.

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.

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.

Which high frequency words are we learning this week?

Our common words are ‘as’ and ‘a’.

Take a look at our High Frequency Word activities for some ideas.

What can we do with this week’s sounds?

Build the word a simple and easy activity with your child as they learn the first basic words to read, write and spell.

Make your own sensory letters.

Build the word.

What Phase 2 words can I create?

For ideas on the simple (CVC) and tricky words you can create with the letters we’ve learned so far, please look at our word lists.
