About this resource

A comprehensive pack of 114 fully differentiated phonic worksheets covering all of the digraphs and trigraphs for phases 3 and 4 of the UK Gov. Letters and Sounds phonic programme, except ‘ure’.

The sounds covered are:
ck, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, and er, in this order.

When can I use these sheets?

They are great for revision, general classwork, or homework.

They can be used with large or small groups or with individuals by tutors.

How can I use the Phases 3 and 4 Phonic Worksheets?

Use them for assessment, and reinforcement activities; blow them up for whole class/group teaching or send them home for extra practice once taught in class. Copy, reduce, and enlarge as much as you like.

What is included in the pack?

I provide up to four sheets at two levels for most sounds: the first set for phase 3, with no consonant blends, and the second for phase 4 including words with consonant blends. Thereby giving plenty of scope for differentiation.

Fully differentiated, they meet the real needs of the average class and are fully systematic: no words are introduced for which the student has not yet learned the necessary skills to decode. They provide ample practice for students in both reading and spelling.

Sheets with mixed sounds are included too, as well as plenty of sentences to read and puzzles.

Can I use them with other programmes?

They are suitable for use with other schemes as long as you make sure that your children know the sounds necessary to complete the sheet.

No clip art. All original drawings.
