The Phonics Curriculum - Phase 5
The purpose of this phase is for children to broaden their knowledge of graphemes and phonemesfor use in reading
and spelling. They will learn new graphemes and alternative pronunciations for these and graphemes they already
know, where relevant. Some of the alternatives will have already been encountered in the high frequency words
they have already been taught. Children become quicker at recognising graphemes of more than one letter in words
and blending the phonemes they represent. When spelling words they will learn to choose the appropriate
graphemes to represent phonemes (so that words sound right and look right e.g. tiem sounds like time but does not
look right and begin to build word-specific knowledge of the spellings of words.
Words must sound right and look
right
payd or paid?
mayd, maid or made?
New phonemes and new graphemes for familiar phonemes:We sometimes call pairs or groups of letters ‘friendly’ letters. It is really important that these are
recognised in their pair when reading so that the children say the whole phoneme and not the
individual sounds. In this phase children are introduced to split vowel digraphs e.g. i-e where the
friendly letters are each side of the consonant making the vowel change from a short to a long sound
e.g. pin to pine or by putting an ‘n’ in between the ‘ie’ in pie, we get pine. However, it is important that
the children still see the ‘i and e’ as belonging together.

Word Building
In Phase 5, children will practise simple CVC words as well as the adjacent consonants learned in Phase Four (CCVC
words etc) while securing their segmenting and blending skills for reading and spelling polysyllabic words.
When putting these words into phoneme frames the two or three letters that represent the one sound (phoneme)
are placed in the same box as taught in Phase Three. The sound buttons are written as a line under the two/three
letters as shown below. The adjacent consonants have their own phoneme frame or sound button.

Alien Words
As well as real words, the children make up, say and read alien or pseudo words to help them develop and apply
these important skills e.g. briel, cruem, sipe, dawc, foump.
You can make up your own by combining any of the phonemes/graphemes above together.
Tricky High Frequency Words
As our language is not phonically regular, the children need to know that there are some words that we just have to
learn to look at and read from sight memory. Many of the phonically regular high frequency words have been taught
in the previous phases. Those associated with Phase Five are:- don’t, day, here, old, house, made, saw, I’m, about,
came, very, by, your, make, time.
Additional Phase Five these tricky words include:- oh, their, people, Mr, Mrs, would, should, could.
Children also begin to learn about the past tense ‘ed’ ending which has a variety of pronunciations. High Frequency
words include:- looked, called, asked
We also encourage the children to learn how to spell and write the tricky words as well as other high frequency
words that they are meeting in their reading. This is why we encourage you to complete the ‘New Words’ section
in their Reading Records.
Assessment – Progress Check
It must always be remembered that phonics is the step up to word recognition. Automatic reading of all
words decodable and tricky is the ultimate goal.
Please remember when sounding out an unfamiliar word it is important that your child says the
whole word and then checks that this prediction is meaningful. It is often helpful to re-read the
sentence to check that it makes sense. Children must be able to understand the meaning of the
text they have just read.
