Once your child knows all their single sounds, some simple ‘special friends’ and has learnt to blend simple words, they will now learn: 

• To read and recognise Set 2 Speed Sounds: ay, ee, igh, ow (as in blow) oo (as in zoo) oo (as in look), ar, or, air, ir, ou (as in out), oy
• To read words containing these sounds
• Read a wider range of  ‘red words’ (words that cannot be read using phonic skills)

Each sound is linked to a picture hook and a rhyme to help the children learn and remember the sounds.
