  4. Graphemes • These are the letters that we write to represent the sound and could be more than 1 letter • r ai n • sl ee p

  5. Oral Blending This is the hearing of sounds and blending them together to make a spoken word: b-u-s d-o-g s-i-t

  6. Blending This is recognising the letter sounds in a written word and then blending in the order that they are written to make a word: c-u-p s-p-oo-n

  7. Digraphs 2 letters that make 1 sound are digraphs Consonant digraphs contain 2 consonants together making 1 sound: ll ff zz sh ch th ck nh qu wh ph Vowel digraphs contain 2 vowels together making 1 sound: ai ee oa oo ar or ur ow oi er ay ea ie oy ir

  8. Trigraphs These are 3 letters together making 1 sound chair sight fear hear stair

  9. Split vowel digraphs Where the e at the end of the word changes the vowel within the word to the name rather than the sound
