Phase 5: magic 'e' / split digraph [mixed a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, u-e] word table cards. Children use the long vowels a, e, i, o, u, to complete the words given. In doing so, they get used to trying the different long vowels in each word. There can be more than one option for them to choose from. Once the list is made, pupils change cards. They also read them back to you to check their reading of these magic 'e' words.

Phase 5: Draw the 'sound buttons' activity. Complete set of Phase 5 graphemes [except for 'ph']. 1. Child draws a sausage [a line] under the grapheme being learned, e.g. ay, ou, ie, ea, etc. 2. They then draw a bean [a small dot] for each single phoneme and sausages for graphemes that make one sound [e.g. ch sh th...]. An example is done on each page. 3. The 'sausages and beans' then become the Sound Buttons, so the child then 'presses' the sound buttons and sound out to blend each word. The word list can be used for writing too.

Irregular plurals [of nouns] power-point, the ones that don't follow the usual spelling rules.

Phase 5, alternative spellings. ai, ee, igh, oa, oo. Children read the comments on the top. They recognise or are told the sound being addressed.
