Check if your child can read these sounds.
If your child is learning Set 3 Speed Sounds, help them to:
Read the books at Pink level, then Orange level and then Yellow level, in order. We recommend children read each book three times, as they would at school: once to read the words correctly, a second time with more fluency, and a third time in a ‘storyteller voice’ that shows their understanding.
