Phase 4 Phonics

Happy Wednesday to all you super spellers! Well, we are whizzing through these Phase 4 sounds now, and here are a few more activities to help you get to grips with those blends!

Using the pictures and blends given, can you complete the sentences below?

cl     sl     sp     st     tw

Here are three sets of _ _ins. They look alike.

Here is a shiny, metal _ _oon.

The slippery _ _ug sat on the mat.

The _ _own has bright red hair.

The _ _arfish has five points to its body.

Can you think of any more words that contain these blends? Perhaps you could become an investigator and look for some in any books, magazines or newspapers you may have at home. You could also hop over to Phonics Bloom website by following the link and play some games to boost your confidence. Today’s link will take you to a sentence substitution game where you can make some silly sentences by swapping the blocks around. Who can come up with the silliest?
