Fascinating Fact:

You can hear ph in alphabet.

In KS1 English Spelling (Year 1), children practise matching sounds to spellings. Sometimes two letters work together, and ph is a spelling that can make the /f/ sound in some words.

Key Terms

Digraph: Two letters that make one sound, such as ph.
Phoneme: The smallest unit of sound in a word, like /f/.
Blend: Saying sounds together smoothly to read a word.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What sound does ph make in spelling?

In many words, ph makes the /f/ sound. For example, “phone” starts with the /f/ sound even though it begins with p and h.

Why do some words use ph instead of f?

Some words use ph because they came from other languages, such as Greek. The spelling stayed the same even though we say the /f/ sound.

What are some easy ph words for children?

Some child-friendly examples include “phone”, “photo” and “dolphin”. Practising these helps children recognise that ph can make the /f/ sound.
