Stage 6 introduces Vowel Digraphs at the beginning, middle and at the end of words.

Comes with loads of pictures & activities to help you understand & practice correct spelling with these tricky letter combinations 💕💕💕

Reusable activities with minimal cutting and laminating. Developed with Ishwari Samarakoon of Speech Therapy Services

Vowels Included:

✅ Long Vowel Digraphs for beginner years (to ~7 years old)

✅ Short Vowels oo for cook (rest are addressed in later years)

✅ all for ball (arguably an R Controlled Vowel which we'll cover in later stages but is one of the first vowel digraphs taught in early childhood)

You'll feel confident teaching your child to:

✅ hear the different vowel sounds in words

✅ sound out (segmenting) the different consonants and vowel sounds in words

✅ understand that there are different ways of spelling vowel sounds that sound the same
• long vowel a sound can be spelled with ay, ai or a_e digraphs

✅ understand that although some vowel digraphs are spelt the same, they make different sounds
• the vowel digraph oo can make three different sounds like in book, food and pool

✅ match and choose the correct vowel digraph and therefore the correct spelling for common words

✅ read words correctly, trying the different vowel digraph sounds until the word sounds right and is read correctly (blending and decoding)
