Phonics Phase 3 (Letters & Sounds)

26 new sounds in teaching order — trace, read, blend

📄 16 pages · A4 PDF👶 Ages 4–6📚 Phonics

Overview

The natural next step after Phase 2.

All 26 Phase 3 graphemes in Letters & Sounds order — j, v, w, x… through to er — each with big traceable letters on UK handwriting lines and a picture word.

Plus a tricky-words recap page, blending ladders and a Phase 3 completion certificate.

Matches what UK Reception classes teach after Phase 2.

Is this the right pack for your child?

For 4–6 year olds who know their Phase 2 sounds and are ready for the next step — the digraphs UK Reception classes teach next. If Phase 2 letter sounds are still wobbly, start with the Phase 2 pack first; Phase 3 builds directly on it.

Torn between packs? still tripping on common words? The tricky words pack fixes that.

What's inside

  • All 26 Phase 3 graphemes in Letters & Sounds teaching order — j, v, w, x through to er
  • Big traceable letters on UK handwriting lines with a picture word for every sound
  • Consonant digraphs (qu, ch, sh, th, ng) and vowel digraphs (ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er)
  • A tricky-words recap page, blending ladders and a Phase 3 completion certificate

How to use this pack at home

  1. Follow the page order — it matches the Letters & Sounds teaching sequence schools use.
  2. Trace the new sound first, say the picture word, then read the 'now read' words at the bottom.
  3. Use the blending ladders page daily for a week — sound out slowly, then say the whole word fast.
  4. Grown-ups: say pure sounds ('sss' not 'suh') — the pack reminds you on every page.
