Blending, Segmenting and Spelling: Introducing Decodable Readers

Jolly Phonics

As pupils move through Step 3, their ability to blend sounds into words and segment words into sounds becomes more fluent. This is where reading and spelling start to take off. In this session, you will see how to model blending and segmenting with confidence, use decodable readers effectively, and support children who need extra practice. Includes live demonstrations using Jolly Classroom to bring phonics to life.
