Teaching Phonics Level 4

Before beginning Level 4, children should be able to:

❖Recognize and say the names of all the letters

❖Make primary consonant sounds

❖Read two-letter long-vowel words

❖Read short-vowel CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words

❖Read Digraphs CH, TH, SH, CK, WH

The goals at this fourth level are for children to be able to:

❖Blend consonants

❖Recognize common silent letter combinations

❖Read vowel diphthongs

❖Transition between uppercase and lowercase letters

❖Know the different sounds letters and letter combinations can make, remember the rules for which sound is more likely based on the other letters in the word, and experiment with different pronunciations when more than one rule can apply

❖Important Reminder❖

The phonics rules for reading and spelling overlap in many areas but are very different in others. Children will have more success with both reading and spelling if the phonics rules for reading are mastered before phonics rules for spelling are taught. Teaching reading and spelling phonics rules simultaneously can cause confusion.
