This quiz covers 2, 3 and 4-letter graphemes. It consolidates all the phonics quizzes and asks children at the KS1 level to identify sounds within words. In doing so, this will not only improve their understanding of literacy and English, but will help them in reading and writing.

There are 42 phonic sounds. Memorizing these sounds will help you read and write. Test your knowledge on the phonics sounds.
