Below is a selection of activities to support your child with phase 3. If it is a reading activity, encourage them to spot and say the digraph before reading the word. When writing, ask them to orally rehearse the sentence before e.g. 'It is red'. Repeat the sentence with each word to help them to keep track. If needing to include a digraph, think of the rhyme to help them to remember what the digraph looks like.
Below is a list of links for Phonics websites or apps. Please refer to your child's Knowledge Organiser for more information on which Phase they are working within.
