What Your Child Will Learn

Four sections that take your child from first letters to fluent reading.

Word Building

Word Building

Writing upper and lowercase letters, blending sounds to read words, segmenting to spell, first digraphs, Tricky Words — and reading real stories from the start.

Consonant Blends

Consonant Blends

Applying blending and segmenting to longer words with consonant blends, and reading longer, more complex stories with fluency and understanding.

Long Vowels

Long Vowels

Long vowels and their spelling patterns unlock thousands of new words, with more complex suffixes and ever more interesting reading.

Further Vowel Sounds & Spellings

Further Vowel Sounds & Spellings

New sounds and spelling patterns, more Tricky Words, and increasingly challenging stories building fluent, confident reading.
