Our Phase 2 Secret Word activity turns phonics practise into a decoding challenge.
Children use the included Phase 2 phonics key to work out the “secret word” by identifying each sound and writing it in order. This playful format strengthens blending skills while building independence and confidence.
It feels like a game — but it’s purposeful phonics practice.
