Read Write Inc. Phonics - Set 2 Sounds
Now that your child knows all their single sounds, some simple 'special friends' and has learnt to blend simple words, they will now learn:
- To read and recognise Set 2 Speed Sounds: ay, ee, igh, ow (as in blow) oo (as in zoo) oo (as in look), ar, or, air, ir, ou (as in out), oy
- To read words containing these sounds
- Read a wider range of 'red words' (words that cannot be read using phonic skills).
- To read Pink, Orange and Yellow Storybooks, building speed and fluency.
Set 2 Sounds
Each sound is linked to a picture hook and a rhyme to help the children learn and remember the sounds.
Set 2 sounds pronunciation is shown in this video at 2 mins. - 'Information for parents: How to say the sounds'
