Letters and Sounds
Phase 2 Phonics covers the majority of the alphabet and focuses on letter sound recognition as well as blending and segmenting activities. The more practice young readers get with interacting with and reading these letter sounds, the more confident they will become when recognising them in their independent and shared reading.
