Welcome toSt Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy

Phonics

 

This term, we will be starting our Phase 3 phonics learning. We will start to introduce diagraphs (2 letters that make 1 sound) and trigraphs (3 letters that make 1 sound). Then,  we will be reading and writing words that contain these diagraphs and trigraphs.

 

The phonemes, diagraphs and trigraphs that we will be learning are:

 

j v w x y z zz

qu ch sh th

ng ai ee igh 

oa oo ar or

ur ow oi er

ear air ure

 

We will also be learning to read and write Phase 3 tricky words. These are the words that we cannot sound out. Our tricky words are:

 

he   she   we   my   was    me   be   they   all   you   are

 

Children will receive a sheet with the new sounds on each week to add to their phonics pack. Please continue to support your child at home with their phonics learning.

 

Please speak to us if you would like any help with this.
