Your child has been learning phase 3 trigraphs. A trigraph has three letters but only makes one sound. Can your child tell you what a trigraph is? Can your child tell you a trigraph that they know? Your child has learnt the trigraphs ear, air and ure.
Your child has now learnt all the phase 3 sounds.
Please continue to practise these sounds with your child. You can do this by searching for the sounds in your child’s reading book. You could also play splat. First, write all the phase 3 sounds on pieces of paper. Then, splat the sounds using a spatula as your child tells you the sound you have splatted. Can your child tell you all the phase 3 sounds?
