Letter o Phonics Worksheets | Beginning Blending Activities

Master the letter O with this structured Phase 2 Phonics mini workbook — designed especially for Reception and ages 4–6 who are beginning their early reading journey.

This focused 3-page activity pack introduces the letter O clearly and confidently as part of the essential Phase 2 progression.

Why Learn Letter O?

The short vowel sound /o/ is introduced in the GOCK set of Phase 2 phonics.

It allows children to build simple CVC words such as dog, log, pot, and top when combined with previously learned letters.

Learning o strengthens blending skills and expands early word-building confidence.

This workbook helps children:

✔ Recognise uppercase & lowercase O o
✔ Say the short /o/ sound (as in octopus)
✔ Practise correct letter formation
✔ Identify words containing the short o sound
✔ Strengthen blending confidence
✔ Build reading fluency step by step

Designed for short, focused 10–15 minute sessions.
