This is the sequence used in the Spelfabet materials, which like all synthetic phonics teaching sequences works from short, simple words to longer, more complex ones. It’s not the best or only possible sequence so please adapt it as necessary to meet your learners’ needs.
BEGINNERS
Level 1: words with 2 or 3 sounds and “short” vowels (VC and CVC)
Level 2: words with 4-7 sounds, “short” vowels and consonant blends (CVCC, CCVC – CCCVCCC)
Level 3: Major syllable types (CVCe, open/closed syllables, -ing, -le, schwa) and vowel digraphs
INTERMEDIATE
Level 4: The many spellings of “long vowel” sounds (ay, ee, I, oh, oo, you)
Level 5: The many spellings of other vowel sounds (ar, er, or, ou, oy, air, ear)
Level 6: More consonant spellings
ADVANCED
