💡 Is Phase 3 the right level? Phase 3 is designed for readers who have already worked with the Phase 2 letter sounds and are progressing into a broader range of phonics sounds and patterns. If the child is still learning their first letter sounds, look at Phase 2. If they are moving into consonant blends, Phase 4 may be the next stage.
