Phase 3 phonics PowerPoint: oo, ar, or

Teach the digraphs oo, ar and or 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 helps pupils recognise, read and spell new grapheme-phoneme correspondences through structured daily phonics teaching.

Pupils revisit previously taught sounds before learning to blend, segment and apply oo, ar and or when reading words, captions and simple sentences. The lesson also explores both pronunciations of oo, helping pupils develop confidence with decoding, tricky words and early spelling.
