Learn English with Letterland
About Fix-it Phonics Fix-it Phonics will help your child to make the link between a letter’s sound and shape – an important first step in a method of learning to read called phonics.
Learning about digraphs & trigraphs It is recommended that children complete Level 1 before starting Level 2, however there is a summary of the a-z Letterland characters, sounds and shapes in this level. The letter sounds are very important as just by starting to say a character’s name, you will be saying the sound they make in words. You then have the tools to blend the letter sounds into simple words: ‘mmm…’ ‘a…’ ‘nnn…’ - man. Level 2 introduces some simple but incredibly powerful stories that will unlock thousands of new words. Children will learn how the a-z letters combine to make new sounds (digraphs and trigraphs). The stories in this level will unlock the following sounds/spelling patterns: ng sh th ch a-e ai ay e-e ee ea i-e ie igh -y o-e oa ow u-e ue ew oo ar or er ir ur
Letterland goes further... There are 3 Fix-it Phonics levels. All levels include: Letter recognition skills Listening and speaking skills Basic English vocabulary Oral blending and segmenting High frequency words. Level 1 Level 2
- focuses on Aa-Zz shapes and sounds. - revises a-z and introduces some important digraphs and trigraphs ( 2 or 3 letters representing a new sound e.g sh in shop). - introduces more important digraphs and trigraphs, building the foundations for full literacy in English. *

Letterland is fun! We feel the most important thing about learning English, and learning how to read and write, is to have fun. That’s why Fix-it Phonics is full of songs, games, actions, chants and colourful characters. We want you, and the children you teach, to enjoy it!
