Phonics Learning Journey
Phonics is the method used to teach children to read, but phonemes, graphemes and decoding can be a bit of a mystery to parents. Follow TheSchoolRun's Phonics Learning Journey for a structured series of phonics worksheets and activities, prepared by primary-school teachers to help your child put their new skills into practice at home.
Phonics sounds (known as 'phonemes') are taught in a specific order in the classroom. Read our parents' guide to phonics teaching and understand the importance of phonics phases before you start working your way through the worksheets.
The Phonics Learning Journey covers phonics essentials for Reception and Year 1, but you can also look through our 200+ phonics worksheets for more practice opportunities or to find an activity to help with a sound your child finds tricky.
Visit the phonics hub for advice and information for parents, including our pick of the best phonics tools for kids, common phonics problems and how to boost your child's phonics confidence.
