How it fits the sequence

CVC first: one set per letter-sound in the order s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c/k, e, u, r, h, b, f, l, j, v and z, w, x, y, plus four review sets, used as each sound is introduced. Then CVCC: organised by end blend, once CVC words are secure, so students meet the same blend many times in a row. Then CCVC: organised by initial blend, with the pictures folded behind a dotted line so students decode before they see them, and a mixed-blends set to finish. Then Consonant Digraphs: two letters, one sound, starting with ck and the doubled letters, then sh, ch, th and ng, with the digraph written in one sound box and a mixed review to finish. The 4-sound digraph sets come last, joining a digraph with a consonant blend in words such as brush, chest and swing.

Best suited to: Foundation teachers running a systematic synthetic phonics program who want matched practice for every pattern; also Year 1 revision and intervention. The CVC sets sit in Foundation everywhere; the CVCC, CCVC and digraph sets are on-syllabus for Kindergarten in NSW (Early Stage 1) and sit in Year 1 of the Australian Curriculum v9.0 elsewhere, including the ACT.
