Phonics Book Case: 5 to 6 Year

Move from Basic Phonics to Confident Reading

After learning basic letters and simple sound patterns, children need structured practice to read longer and more challenging words. My Book of Phonics – Set D & Set E is designed to support this important stage of reading development.

This complete phonics set helps children understand how vowels change sounds, how letter combinations work, why some letters remain silent and how longer words can be broken into syllables. Instead of memorising difficult words, children learn to observe patterns, listen to sounds, read aloud and apply phonics rules step by step.

The books use colourful illustrations, sound-based activities, oral questions, sentence reading and revision lessons to make phonics practice clear, enjoyable and easy to remember.

What Children Will Learn

Set D Part 1: Long Vowels and Vowel Combinations

Set D Part 1 introduces children to long vowel sounds and important vowel combinations. Children learn words with vowel sounds a, i, o and u, along with combinations such as ai, ay, ei, ey, eigh, ee, ea, ie and igh. The book also includes revision lessons to help children practise and remember the sounds they have learnt.

Children learn how adding e at the end of a word can change a short vowel into a long vowel, helping them read words such as cane, rake, lake and gate more confidently.

Set D Part 2: More Vowel Patterns and Closed Syllables

Set D Part 2 continues vowel learning with combinations such as oe, oa, oo, ue, ea, oi and ou. It also introduces closed syllable rules, helping children understand how words are formed and read in smaller parts.

Through picture-based reading, sound recognition and word-completion tasks, children learn to connect spelling patterns with pronunciation and meaning.

Set E Part 1: Advanced Sounds, Clusters and Silent Letters

Set E Part 1 helps children move into more advanced phonics concepts. It covers different sounds of ed endings, including words where ed sounds like d, t or id. It also introduces beginning clusters such as spl, spr, str, scr and thr, ending sounds such as tch and dge, and silent letters such as w, n, e, g and k.

These lessons help children improve pronunciation, spelling awareness and word-reading confidence.

Set E Part 2: Silent Letters, Hard and Soft Sounds and Syllables

Set E Part 2 introduces children to silent letters such as c, u, p, b, h, t and l. It also covers the two different sounds of c, the two different sounds of g, multisyllabic words, open syllables and vowel combinations au and aw. Revision lessons are included for repeated practice.

Children learn that some letters may appear in words but may not always be pronounced. For example, the book introduces silent c through words such as crescent, scent, scene and conscience.

Activity-Based Learning for Better Understanding

The books are designed to keep children actively involved. Each concept is supported through different types of exercises so that children can see the word, say it aloud, identify the sound and complete the activity.

The set includes:

• Introduction to Sound activities
• I Spy picture-matching tasks
• Fill in the Missing Sound exercises
• Read-aloud word practice
• Sentence-reading activities
• Oral interaction questions
• Sound identification tasks
• Word-completion exercises
• Revision lessons
• Picture-based vocabulary practice

These activities help children practise phonics in a way that feels interactive rather than repetitive. The books include tasks where children say picture names aloud, draw lines to matching sounds and complete missing letters, supporting both reading and pronunciation.

Skills & Brain Functions Developed

Phonological Awareness

Children learn to hear, identify and apply different sounds in words, including vowel combinations, silent letters, clusters and syllable patterns.

Reading Fluency

Read-aloud words, sentence practice and repeated revision help children read more smoothly and confidently.

Spelling Awareness

Missing-sound exercises and pattern-based lessons help children understand how sounds are represented through letters and combinations.

Vocabulary Development

Colourful picture-word activities introduce children to new words while helping them connect sound, spelling and meaning.

Pronunciation Clarity

Children practise saying words aloud and identifying correct sounds, which improves speech clarity and oral reading confidence.

Memory and Recall

Repeated sound practice, revision pages and activity-based learning help children remember phonics rules for longer.

Visual Processing

Picture-based tasks, matching exercises and sound identification activities help children connect images, letters and words.

Logical Thinking

Children compare sounds, identify patterns, complete missing letters and apply phonics rules to choose the correct answers.

Focus and Attention

Short, structured activities encourage children to concentrate, observe carefully and complete one task at a time.

Language Processing

Children learn how spoken sounds connect with written words, improving reading, comprehension and word usage.

Made for Advanced Early Phonics Practice

My Book of Phonics – Set D & Set E is ideal for children who already know basic letter sounds and are ready to read more complex words. The set supports home learning, classroom practice, preschool revision and guided phonics sessions.

With regular practice, children can move from simple word reading to stronger pronunciation, better spelling awareness and more confident reading fluency.

Suitable For: Home learning, preschool practice, early-primary phonics support, classroom learning and guided reading practice.
