Levels 14 & 15

Alternative Spelling – Set 3

Levels 14 and 15 further extend children’s understanding of alternative spellings for common vowel sounds.

These levels support fluent reading across a wide range of texts.

Learning continues to be supported by interactive phonics games on iOS and Android, ensuring systematic practice and consolidation.

Completion of Levels 1A–13, or equivalent phonics and reading knowledge, is recommended.
