By the end of Year 3: your child knows one sound can be spelled different ways — like the j sound in badge, giraffe and giant — and picks the right one.
- Read words with less common spellings for familiar sounds: 'badge', 'giraffe', 'city', 'knock', 'gnaw', 'write', 'treasure'
- Identify that the same phoneme can be represented by different graphemes (e.g., /dʒ/ spelled g, ge, dge)
One skill from the map, ages 6–8 — its page has the rest of the checklist and what comes next. Candidate alignment, machine-suggested and unreviewed (v0.1).
