Phase 4
Phase 4 is a consolidation phase where no new phonemes are introduced but some new tricky words are. This phase also helps children to learn to read and spell bigger words. They think more about the syllables in words.
Phase 5
In Phase Five, children will learn more graphemes and phonemes. For example, they already know ai as in rain, but now they will be introduced to ay as in day and a-e as in make.
