How do you explain Phase 4 in phonics?

Step 2: Phase 4 Digraphs and Trigraphs Some can be represented by two letters together, e.g. ee, ai, ch and sh. It is during phase 4 of phonics that your child will hopefully become fully familiar with these digraphs (sounds with two graphemes or letters).

How should two syllable words be taught?
As I mentioned above, teach them to clap or tap out the syllables first. Focus on each syllable separately. Say the word more than once!

How do you teach a child to read two syllable words?
To make this on your own:
- Write syllables on a white board and have students decide if they are open or closed. Underline the vowel in each syllable. Look to see if there is a consonant after it.
- Write syllables on note cards. Have students sort cards based on open or closed.
- Make a syllable house.
