We know all the Phase 3 Tricky Words now, so it is time to start learning the Phase 4 Tricky Words! You might already know some of these from your reading books.

so saidIt is tricky because the ‘ai’ digraph is making an ‘e’ sound in said (e.g. sed)

It is tricky because the ‘o’ is making it’s letter name instead of it’s letter sound. It is similar to tricky words: no and go

Can you write a sentence with each of

these words?

Teach There are no new digraphs or trigraphs in Phase 4, instead we will be reading and writing words with ‘consonant clusters’.

How many vowels and consonants does your name have in it?

Parent Information• Consonants are sounds made by blocking air from flowing out of the mouth with

the teeth, tongue, lips or palate ('b' is made by putting your lips together, 'l' is made by touching your palate with your tongue).

• Vowel sounds are made by allowing breath to flow out without closing any parts. • ‘Y‘ can make either a consonant sound at the start of a word ('yellow') or a vowel

sound at the end of a word ('sunny‘).

Read the ‘CVCC’ words and choose the picture to match

Parent Information• A ‘consonant cluster’ is two or three consonants with no vowels

between them (e.g. two in ‘trap’ or three in 'splash‘).• It is different from a digraph/trigraph because their letters only

make one sound (e.g. ‘sh’ or ‘igh’). • In a consonant cluster, the letter sounds are pronounced in one

syllable but you can hear each one individually.
