Teach all 6 vowel digraph groups (ai/ay, ee/ea, oa/ow, igh, ue/ew and oo) with this complete Phase 3 and Phase 5 phonics pack for Reception and Year 1. It has everything you need in one print-ready PDF, from a teaching page to a progress check with answers. It works for small groups, 1:1 sessions and intervention.

What is included (8 pages):

A teacher page explaining vowel digraphs, with spelling patterns and a suggested teaching sequence
10 reference cards: ai, ay, ee, ea, oa, ow, igh, ue, ew and oo, each with example words and space for a word of the child’s own
Word lists for each digraph, moving from simpler to more complex words
10 decodable sentences for reading aloud or dictation
A decodable passage, “A Rainy Day at the Zoo”, with 4 comprehension questions
A progress check with a sorting task and a sentence to read aloud
Full answer keys

How to use it: Teach one pair at a time, starting with ai and ay. Use the reference cards to practise each digraph, then move on to the word lists, sentences and passage. Teach oo last, because children have to try two sounds. Finish with the progress check to see which digraphs to revisit.

Suitable for: Reception and Year 1 classes, Year 2 intervention groups, teaching assistants, tutors and parents supporting reading at home.
