What Your Child Will Master in the Phonics Advanced Programme

Our comprehensive curriculum is structured to ensure profound development in key areas, transforming your child into a skilled reader:

Mastery of Long Vowel Sounds and Vowel Teams

Children will delve into the intricacies of long vowel patterns (e.g., a_e, i_e, o_e, u_e) and complex vowel teams (e.g., ee, ea, oa, ow, ai, ay). This deep understanding empowers them to confidently decode a vast array of words, enhancing both reading accuracy and speed.

Decoding R-Controlled Vowels and Advanced Blends

The programme systematically introduces r-controlled vowels (e.g., ar, ir, air) and more challenging consonant blends and trigraphs (e.g., all, oy, au, oo, shr). This expanded phonetic knowledge equips them to tackle increasingly complex vocabulary.

Understanding Silent Letters and Irregular Patterns

Students will learn to identify and apply rules for silent letters (e.g., kn, wr) and other advanced phonetic concepts (e.g., c (S) for /s/, g (J) for /j/, _tion, _ble). This demystifies irregular spellings, boosting their confidence in reading and spelling.

Expanding Advanced Sight Word Vocabulary

We introduce a rich repertoire of high-frequency sight words (e.g., your, took, here, found, little, any, other, because, put, would, should, could, cover, every, does, always, once, a, an). Instant recognition of these words significantly accelerates reading speed and allows children to focus their cognitive energy on comprehension.

Integrated Reading Practice with Engaging Texts

Learning comes alive through the application of skills with captivating readers. Children will engage with stories like ‘Reel Fish!’ and ‘The Party’. These texts provide meaningful contexts for applying phonics knowledge and developing a love for reading.
