Children are secure working within phase 3 when they:
- Give the sound when shown all or most Phase 2 and Phase 3 graphemes
- Find from a display all or most Phase 2 and 3 graphemes when given the sound
- Blend and read CVC words consisting of Phase 2 and 3 graphemes
- Segment and make a phonemically plausible attempt at spelling CVC words using Phase 2 and 3 graphemes
