Phase 4 Lesson Presentation: Including Long Vowel Sounds
Deepen phonics understanding with this comprehensive Phase 4 presentation focusing on long vowel sounds. Aligned with the updated 2021 Letters and Sounds progression followed by many schools, this resource helps children consolidate Phase 3 knowledge and apply it when reading and spelling longer words.
Across five structured sessions, pupils are supported to:
- Revisit and apply digraphs and trigraphs in context
- Read and spell words containing long vowel sounds like ai, oa, ee, and igh
- Practise new tricky words such as of, what, when, and says
- Build fluency with full sentence reading and writing activities
Ideal for daily phonics teaching on the whiteboard, this PowerPoint supports confident decoding, blending, and spelling through consistent structure, engaging repetition, and clear visual prompts.
Teaching tip: Use the sentence reading and word sorting tasks to reinforce sound recognition and sentence structure as pupils prepare for more fluent reading.
