Alphablocks

112 episodes

Full episodes of the BAFTA-winning CBeebies phonics series, three to five minutes apiece. Letters are characters here: when they hold hands, their sounds blend and a word appears. The episodes track the progression a phonics sequence follows, starting with single letter sounds, then blending short words, then digraphs where two letters team up to make one new sound, then vowels stretching into the long sounds that say their own name, then longer and trickier strings. Because each one is short and aimed at a single step, you can pull exactly the episode that matches the sound your group is working on this week.
