Phase 2 Phonics

Phase 2 is the beginning of a child’s early reading journey. During this stage, children are introduced to the first letter sounds and begin learning how sounds work together to build words.

Children start developing the foundations needed for reading and writing by learning to:

• recognise letter sounds
• blend sounds together to read words
• segment words into sounds for spelling
• read simple decodable words and sentences

This module has been carefully designed to introduce phonics in a structured, supportive, and confidence-building way through teacher-led instruction, repetition, modelling, and guided practice.

At QFE, we understand that early reading should feel secure, encouraging, and developmentally appropriate. Children are supported step-by-step so they can build confidence alongside skill and understanding.

Every lesson is:

• carefully sequenced
• developmentally aligned
• teacher-led
• structured to build confidence gradually
• focused on understanding, not guessing

Children are guided through phonics step-by-step using repetition, modelling, blending practice, fluency activities, and carefully structured application tasks.

The programme follows a consistent learning structure to reduce overwhelm and help children feel secure as they begin their reading journey.

At QFE, we prioritise confidence before curriculum because children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and capable.
Each week, children receive a structured workbook that directly supports the lessons taught.

The purpose of this programme is to help children:

• recognise and remember early letter sounds
• begin blending sounds together to read simple words
• develop early segmenting skills for spelling
• build confidence when beginning to read
• strengthen listening and sound discrimination skills
• develop secure foundations for future phonics learning

The programme is carefully sequenced to ensure children revisit and consolidate learning regularly so that early phonics knowledge becomes secure and automatic over time.

By the end of this module, children will work towards being able to:

• recognise and say Phase 2 letter sounds
• blend simple sounds together to read CVC words
• segment simple words into sounds for spelling
• read simple decodable words and sentences
• identify some tricky words
• begin writing letters and simple words
• develop confidence and independence during early reading activities
• apply taught sounds within structured phonics tasks
