FAQs
What age is Friendly Phonics Level 2 designed for?
Friendly Phonics Level 2 is designed for children aged 5+
What do children learn in Level 2?
Children build on their Level 1 phonics knowledge by learning new digraphs, blends and suffixes with the help of the Letterland characters, building towards blending and segmenting more complex words, reading and writing more Tricky Words, and reading decodable stories with growing confidence.
Whats included in each Friendly Phonics Level?
Each level includes a Digital Teacher's Guide with research-based lesson plans, 2 write-in Student Book packed with activities, and 25+ pull-out decodable readers. There is also access to audio tracks for pronunciation support, interactive teaching tools - all in our web-based app, Phonics Online.
Is Friendly Phonics suitable for complete English beginners?
Yes. The programme is specifically designed for children learning English as an additional language, starting from the very first letter sounds and building systematically.
What are decodable readers and how are they used?
Decodable readers are short, structured books where vocabulary is carefully controlled to only include phonics patterns the student has already been taught, as well as previously introduced Tricky Words. Each Friendly Phonics level includes 25+ pull-out decodable readers for students to practise blending and reading independently.
Does Friendly Phonics support the US/UK curriculum standards?
Yes. The Friendly Phonics scope and sequence aligns with the UK teaching order, making it compatible with many other reading schemes. The methodology is fully aligned with the evidence-based Science of Reading framework for early literacy. Systematic synthetic phonics programmes are endorsed by English language governing frameworks (like Cambridge ELT) as highly effective for ESL/EFL learners.
