During Phase 6 children will continue to extensively practise reading and spelling of words containing the graphemes/phonemes they have learnt so far.

They will also begin to explore how to use the past tense, adding suffixes and prefixes to words and the rules that apply to these processes using a variety of spelling games and activities which challenge the children to think about the strategies they have been taught and apply them both during their Phonics sessions and within their Literacy work.

As with all the Phases, there are a great number of good websites which contain fun games to help the children with their learning.  Phonicsplay.com can be accessed via the link on our blog.
