Give your child the confidence to begin reading with a structured, supportive introduction to phonics.

The QFE Phase 2 Phonics Workbook has been carefully designed to help children build the essential foundations needed for early reading and writing. Through clear progression, engaging activities, and consistent practice, children begin learning how sounds and letters work together to form words and sentences.

This workbook supports children as they move from recognising individual sounds to blending, segmenting, reading, and writing simple words independently.

Designed using QFE’s psychology-led and developmentally aligned approach, the workbook focuses not only on phonics knowledge, but also on confidence, repetition, and secure understanding.

What This Workbook Covers Throughout the workbook, children will learn to: * recognise and say Phase 2 sounds using pure sounds * blend sounds together to read simple words * segment words into sounds for spelling * read simple phonically decodable sentences * begin writing words and short sentences * recognise and practise early tricky words * develop confidence and fluency through repetition

The workbook follows a carefully sequenced progression across five weeks: * Week 1: s, a, t, p, i * Week 2: n, m, d, g, o * Week 3: c, k, ck, e, u * Week 4: r, h, b, f, ff * Week 5: l, ll, ss + consolidation + tricky words

However, this structure is designed as a guide rather than a strict timetable. Every child learns at their own pace, and it is completely fine to slow down, repeat sections, or spend longer on particular sounds if needed.

Some families may choose to: * follow the workbook week by week * focus on one sound each week * complete a few pages at a time * revisit earlier sounds regularly for extra consolidation

The goal is not to rush through the workbook, but to help your child feel secure, confident, and successful as they learn.

Included Activities Children will complete a wide range of activities designed to reinforce learning in different ways, including: * sound recognition * blending practice * segmentation tasks * sound buttons * word building * sentence writing * picture matching * missing letter activities * reading and drawing tasks * consolidation and revision practice

Who Is This Workbook For? This workbook is ideal for: * children beginning phonics learning * Reception-aged learners * home education families * parents wanting structured phonics support at home * children needing extra consolidation and confidence building * tutors and intervention support
