use knowledge of blending, segmenting and manipulating to read and write increasingly complex words (phonemic awareness)

• blending and segmenting sounds in words, for example ‘b-r-o-th-er’ or ‘c-l-ou-d-y’
• deleting and substituting sounds (phonemes) in spoken words to form new words (for example, deleting the initial ‘scr’ in ‘scratch’ and substituting new initial sounds to form words such as ‘catch’, ‘batch’ and ‘hatch’) and substituting a medial sound to form a new word (for example, ‘stack’ becomes ‘stick’)
