Phase 3 phonics PowerPoint: longer words

Help pupils apply their phonics knowledge to read and spell longer words with this engaging Phase 3 phonics PowerPoint, designed for whole-class teaching in Reception. Following the phonics scheme used in many schools, this ready-to-use lesson presentation develops confidence with blending and segmenting two-syllable and compound words using previously taught Phase 3 grapheme-phoneme correspondences.

Pupils revisit previously taught sounds before learning to decode and spell longer words such as picnic, carrot and rooftop. The consistent lesson structure builds confidence with blending, reinforces tricky words and supports the transition to increasingly fluent reading.
