Phase 6
Phase 6 refers to the phases in Letters and Sounds. This phase helps children learn to read in a more automatic way and helps them to learn simple spelling rules.
Phase 6 is intended to be taught in Year 2. A new document, called Support for Spelling has been released by the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families) outlining spelling objectives to be taught from Year 2 to Year 6. This helps to clarify the information in Letters and Sounds about exactly what should be taught at Phase 6.
