For example, group 1 has the letters s, a, t, i, p, n. These letters are not just easy to learn but they also make the most 3-lettered words so that children can start to blend sounds and read 3-lettered words as soon as they know the group 1 sounds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"background-attachment: initial; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: large;\">However, any kind of learning requires patience. I recommend that children spend at least a week on one letter before moving on to another letter. Moreover, make the learning of phonics fun using my <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.amna.phonicsfun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jolly Phonics Fun app<\/a>.

You can easily print these worksheets and ask your children to figure out the spellings of the word. They will use their phonics knowledge along with an alphabet code to figure out the spellings and will have a lot of fun as they will feel like a detective!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/obsidiansofteducation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/16_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1fG58H0PdvJV7VZ3-nL4vYk9m9Z9vgTXY\/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"background-attachment: initial;
