Level two is all about consolidation. It's a time to practice all the skills learned in level one and make sure that they are really secure before proceeding. This level rounds out children's knowledge of the alphabet, introducing letter names (A's name sounds like the a in ape, while her sound is like the start of apple) and capital letters. --- Alphablocks is a step-by-step reading programme grouped neatly into five colour-coded levels. Each level introduces new letters and letter teams along with new phonics ideas and key skills. Alphablocks uses best-practice systematic synthetic phonics developed with literacy experts and aligned to the EYSF (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework and KS1 curriculum. It is compatible with all major UK reading schemes and has helped millions of young children around the world to learn to read.
