Choose from Buried Treasure, Dragons Den and Picnic on Pluto. You are able to choose particular sounds to practise, otherwise click on phase 5, revise all phase 5, to read real and fake words with the sounds we have learned. 

Regular reading has a huge, noticeable impact on your child's progress in a range of areas e.g. spelling, vocabulary and imagination. Please help to support your child's learning by reading at home with them. Remember to sign their reading record to show how many times in the week you have listened to them read. Children that have read at least three times will help earn points towards a class reward.
