My Fourth Phonics Book (ages 6-8) continues the learning journey from My Third Phonics Book by introducing children to the essential Phase 5 alternative spellings used in early reading programmes across the UK (KS1) and the US (Grade 1-2).
This book strengthens children's understanding of how one sound can be spelled in several different ways, building confident decoding, fluent reading, and early spelling mastery.
Phase 5 is a crucial stage in literacy development. Children begin to explore alternative spellings, silent letters, and graphemes with multiple sounds, helping them make sense of the many spelling patterns in English.
This book makes these tricky concepts simple, clear, and child-friendly.
Alternative Spelling Mastery: Children learn the most important Phase 5 spellings, including:
- air, are, ear, ere
- or, au, al, our
- ur, ir, er
- gn, kn (silent letters)
- graphemes such as ch, which can make /ch/, /k/ or /sh/
This builds the essential awareness that one sound may have several different spellings.
Sound-to-Spelling Flexibility: Children explore how familiar sounds are written in new ways-for example:
- /air/ → air, are, ear, ere
- /or/ → or, au, al, our
- /ur/ → ur, ir, er
This flexible understanding helps children decode unfamiliar words and improves spelling confidence.
Silent Letter Recognition: Words like gnash, knob, and wring help children understand silent graphemes, building decoding accuracy and preventing future spelling confusion.Tricky Pattern Awareness: Children learn spelling patterns that often confuse early readers, supporting success in:
- UK KS1 reading
- UK Year 1 Phonics Screening Check
- US Grade 1-2 reading fluency
- SEN, EAL, and intervention programmes
Each page clearly presents:
- the target grapheme
- the sound
- a decodable example word
- a simple contextual sentence
- bright illustrations
This ensures children can see, hear, and understand the spelling pattern in action.
Perfect for Home & School (UK & US)
Ideal for:
- KS1 (Year 1 & Year 2)
- 1st Grade & 2nd Grade
- Home learning
- Classrooms
- Tutors & intervention groups
- Parents supporting phonics
- ESL/EAL learners
The fun children playing school theme also encourages independent learning and imaginative play.
Works Seamlessly with the Phonics Family SeriesThis book builds upon:
- My First Phonics Book (Phase 2 & 3)
- My Second Phonics Book (Phase 4)
- My Third Phonics Book (Phase 5 - alternative pronunciations)
Together, they create a complete, child-friendly progression for early readers.
