- Teach one sound set at a timeIntroduce, model and practise a single grapheme–phoneme link before moving on — little and often beats overload.
- Blend to read, segment to spellPupils apply new sounds in decodable words and short texts, then reverse the process to spell.
- Review, assess and reteachLow-stakes checks flag gaps early so you loop back before they compound.
