We are now working on Week 2 of Phase 2 of Phonics and introducing the letters I, N, M, D as your child learns to read with phonics.
Which letters and sounds are we learning this week?
Our 4 letters for this week are I, N, M, D.
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 ‘it’, ‘is’, ‘an’, ‘in’, ‘dad’ and ‘and’.
Take a look at our High-Frequency Word activities for some ideas.
What can we do with this week’s sounds?
Sensory alphabet cards with pipe cleaners
What words can I create?
Don’t forget to mix this week’s letters with last week’s letters to keep practising them and help you create a wider range of words.
For ideas on the 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.
