Alphablocks 

Say hello to the Alphablocks! As seen on CBeebies, check out the BAFTA-nominated television series made up of funky letters. A family of 26 living letters who discover that when they hold hands and make a word, it magically comes to life. Each Alphablock's personality revolves around the unique and memorable way they make their letter sounds. 

The Alphablocks is a step-by-step reading programme grouped into five handy colour-coordinated levels. Each level introduces new letters and "letter teams" in combination with new phonics ideas. The Alphablocks have been developed with literary experts and aligned to the EYSF (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework and the Key Stage One: 

Level One: Recognising the sounds that each letter makes. Children start to meet the letters in an order that allows them to start making words, using sounding out and blending skills.

Level Two: Introduces less common letters and rounds out the alphabet, meeting the capital letters and letter names. 

Level Three: Introduces children to letter teams- two letters that join to make one sound (e.g. sh, ch, oo and ee). 

Level Four: Introduces letter blends- two consonants that make both of their sounds when they appear together (e.g. st-, bl-, and tr-). 

Level Five: Discovering that there are different ways to make the long vowel sounds, such as the combination between a vowel and the letter E (e.g. a-e in cake and o-e in home). Children will learn to complete their journey from meeting the letters to reading words like 'alphabet' independently and confidently.
