Trigraphs
English · Phonics & Word Reading · procedural
Read and spell words containing trigraphs — three-letter graphemes representing a single sound (igh, air, ear, are)
What mastery looks like
- Read words with trigraphs (e.g. 'night', 'chair', 'near')
- Distinguish between different sounds for 'ear' (e.g. 'hear' vs 'bear')
- Identify the single phoneme represented by three letters in a word
Check your understanding
Can Trigraphs recognise three-letter combinations like 'igh' in 'night', 'air' in 'chair', and 'ear' in 'hear' — knowing that all three letters together make just one sound?
