Once children have learnt to read a variety of CVC words, they move onto reading digraphs ch, ph, sh, wh, th (two letters that make up one sound). They will learn the sounds /ch/ and /sh/ and be shown how to represent these sounds as letters. They will also learn how to blend consonants, for example: they may be shown the two letters ‘sp’ and asked to say the sounds (/s/ and /p/) these letters make out loud. Consonant blends bl, cl, gl, pl, fl, sp, sk, sm, sn, br, gr, dr, pr and so on helps kids learn to blend and read two consonant sounds.
Children then move onto reading CCVC words, such as chat, ship, frog, snap.
Once they have mastered these, they will move onto CVCC words, such as bash, card, send, mast.

Reading Time:
Teach to your students CCVC and CVCC words during reading time. Point to each sound in the word and ask your student to say the sounds before ‘blending’ them together to read the whole word.
Writing Time:
To make it easier to write the whole word, ask your student to ‘sound out’ the word. Break it down into the individual sounds, then write each one. This will help them to write the whole word.
