Letters and Sounds is a framework for teaching phonics with the aim of teaching children how to read. It is a systematic approach to teaching phonics, beginning with the basics and building on them to create a solid foundation for reading and spelling. The letters and sounds are taught in a specific order, with the focus on blending sounds together to read words.
Our Letters and Sounds phonics resources cover all phonics phases, and are aligned with the order of progression in the DfE Letters and Sounds framework. We have created a range of hands-on letters and sounds resources and phonics games and activities, with plenty of phonics play ideas to keep children engaged and on track with their phonics learning. Explore tricky words games using our tricky words mirror activity – where the tricky words print out backwards, then children should use a hand mirror to figure out what the word says and read it aloud, a fantastic phase 5 phonics game.

The best way to teach phonics is with direct teaching, and children learn best with short, sharp bursts of teaching and learning where their attention is really focused. Young children find it difficult to sit and listen to long periods, so you should make sure that your phonics lessons are interactive, fun, engaging and focused on what you want the children to learn. Children also learn from consolidating previous learning, so it’s important to go over previously learned sounds and tricky words at the start of each phonics lesson.
To teach phonics effectively, you can use a variety of methods such as:
It’s important to keep in mind that every child learns differently, so it’s important to be flexible and adapt your teaching to meet the needs of individual children.
