Phase 3
Learners then move onto Phase 3 where they learn the rest of the letters of the alphabet and then move onto digraphs. Learners will also learn the letter names of the alphabet during this time. More tricky words are given to learners to learn to read and spell thus also developing their vocabulary and language skills.
