📚 JUNIOR LEARNING • PHASE 3 FICTION

12 Decodable Readers — Phase 3 Phonics

Phase 3 readers use a strictly controlled vocabulary that follows the letter-by-letter progression. Text uses regular decodable words according to the week-by-week sequence, together with previously introduced “tricky words”.

The fiction format gives children opportunities to practise their developing phonics knowledge through stories while keeping the text carefully matched to the sounds they are learning.

💡 Is Phase 3 the right level? Phase 3 is designed for readers who have already worked with the Phase 2 letter sounds and are ready for a broader range of phonics sounds and patterns. If they are still learning their first letter sounds, look at Phase 2. If they are beginning to work with consonant blends, Phase 4 may be more suitable.
