Early Readers - Parent's Guide level 3

Level 3 introduces one of the most important milestones in early literacy: blending letter sounds to read words. After mastering individual letter sounds, children begin combining two sounds to form their very first words, helping them understand that reading is simply putting sounds together.

Using a carefully structured, step-by-step approach, learners practise blending consonants and vowels to read simple two-letter (CV) words with confidence. This level strengthens phonemic awareness, reinforces letter-sound knowledge, and lays the foundation for reading longer words and sentences in the levels ahead.

Every activity is designed to make blending simple, engaging, and enjoyable, giving children the confidence to unlock the joy of reading.

What your child will learn:

• Blend individual letter sounds into simple two-letter (CV) words.

• Strengthen phonemic awareness and decoding skills.

• Improve letter-sound recognition and recall.

• Develop confidence in reading their first words independently.

• Build the essential foundation for three-letter words and early sentence reading.

This description stays true to the learning sequence you’ve designed: letters → sounds → two-letter blending → three-letter words → sentences → fluent reading.
