Set 3 Sounds

Your child is now growing in reading ability and confidence. In Set 3, they will learn to:

  • Read Set 3 Speed Sounds: ea, oi, a-e, i-e, o-e, u-e, aw, are, ur, er, ow, ai, oa, ew, ire, ear, ure
  • Read words containing these new sounds
  • Read more 'Red Words' that cannot be read using phonics skills
  • Read Blue and Grey Storybooks with increasing speed and confidence

 

Each sound is linked with a picture and a rhyme to help your child to learn and remember them. 

The pronunciation of Set 3 sounds can be found at 2 mins 30 secs, near the end of the video below.
