How the sounds work

Start, middle, end — “say the word slowly and listen to the part the question asks about”

  1. Read (or listen to) the question: is it about the start, the middle or the end?
  2. Say the picture word slowly and listen to that part.
  3. Check: does your answer spell the word in the picture?

Use it for: Revising all letter sounds before blending whole words in Part 2.

Worked example: 🐶 d o _ — which letter is missing? → g

  1. Look at the picture: 🐶 is “dog”. Say it slowly: d – o – g.
  2. The last sound is g. Only “g” spells “dog”: d-o-g.

Check: d-o-g reads “dog” ✓
