Phonics Phase 5 wh Sound Video in the Phonics Factory

Teacher Specific Information

Children can learn to recognise and say the ‘wh’ sound by watching this Phonics Phase 5 wh Sound Video. It will also support them with blending to read a word including the ‘wh’ sound and segmenting to spell a word including the ‘wh’ sound. You could encourage them to play our Phonics Phase 5 wh Sound Game after to apply their new learning!

If you would like to access additional resources which link to this game, you can purchase a subscription on our sister site, Classroom Secrets.

Development Matters

Children in Reception
(L-7) Read individual letters by saying the sounds for them.
(L-8) Blend sounds into words, so that they can read short words made up of known letter– sound correspondences.
(L-9) Read some letter groups that each represent one sound and say sounds for them.
(L-11) Read simple phrases and sentences made up of words with known letter–sound correspondences and, where necessary, a few exception words.
(L-14) Spell words by identifying the sounds and then writing the sound with letter/s.

Early Learning Goal
(WR-ELG) – Say a sound for each letter in the alphabet and at least 10 digraphs; – Read words consistent with their phonic knowledge by sound-blending; – Read aloud simple sentences and books that are consistent with their phonic knowledge, including some common exception words.

National Curriculum

Year 1
Apply phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decode words.
