Each week whilst we are learning our four sounds, we also learn to read and write 'tricky words'. These words are called 'tricky words' because you can't segment and blend the words in order to read them. They are words which you need to learn to read by sight. 

During phase 2 we will teach the children the following tricky words: 

I 

no

the

to

go

We will then go onto teach the following words during our phase 3 teaching: 

he

she

we

me

be

you

are
