About this resource
Say each picture word before isolating its ending. Compare similar blends and ask pupils to identify every sound before writing.
Curriculum reference — England: Segmenting final clusters supports early regular-word phonics. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
