phonics in reception

[spongecustard]

Just wondered what stage of phonics you would expect your dc in reception to be on by end of term.

Dont know what level it is classed as, but I think they are expected to know all 43 (?) sounds, which includes things like "ou", "or", "ie", "ue" etc.

If the school uses the governments Letter & Sounds programme children are expected to cover phases 1-4 in reception phase 5 in Y1 phase 6 in Y2.

DS's clas have covered Phase 3 and 4 during the year. He covered phase 2 in Nursery last year.

I work in a Y1 class in a school with a very varied background. We have children working in Phases 2 to 6.
