Phase 2

• Why is the sound ‘nk’ taught in Phase 2?
• Why is it no longer in Phase 4 where we learn about adjacent consonants?
• Some children start Reception having never attended Nursery. What would we do to support the children who have missed the Foundations for phonics stage?

Suffixes

• How can I help my children learn words with suffixes in Reception?

Blending

• What can I do if my whole class isn’t blending at Phase 2?

Wall Frieze

• Can we display the Phase 2 grapheme frieze in Nursery?

Precision Teaching

• What if children aren’t retaining sounds after 1:1 sessions?

Training

• I need a Phase 2 refresh. Can you help?
