The “er sound” in phonics is a digraph (two letters making one sound) introduced primarily in Phase 3 of systematic phonics teaching, helping kids blend and read words like ‘her’, ‘jumper’, ‘river’, and ‘farmer’, recognising ‘er’ as a special sound, often at the end of words or as part of longer words, making it crucial for developing reading fluency.
