LP3 Phonics: consonant sounds and phonics in words
LP3 is the third app in the four-level phonics programme. It focuses on consonant recognition, consonant sounds in words, phonics practice and related vocabulary. Consider it for a child with some letter and vowel experience who is ready to apply more consonant sound knowledge.
Available · iPhone & iPad

Consonant recognition and sounds
LP3
Choose by existing knowledge
A child may recognise letters and have practised vowels and early blending, yet still need help with consonant sounds or their place in a word. Look at those specific needs, rather than the number of apps already completed or installed.
When to explore another level first
Revisit LP1 if letter–sound connections remain uncertain, or LP2 if vowels and early blending are still the main difficulty. Remembering a picture or a previous answer is different from attending to the letters and sounds in the word.
LITTLE ENGLISH PHONICS
Course focus
Use consonants in words
Practise phonics in related words and connect new sound knowledge with earlier foundations.
Vocabulary and reading preparation
Build related vocabulary toward the four-level programme’s shared goal of developing independent readers.
Check the current store and app for course contents, prices and regional availability. Independent reading is a programme goal, without a guaranteed outcome or completion deadline.
One activity to try together
These are adaptable home activity suggestions, not a list of app features or individual lessons.
- Choose a practice word your child understands. Listen together and notice the consonant you are focusing on.
- Point to its place in the word, then try blending. Model it first whenever help is needed.
- Try another familiar word using a sound already encountered, rather than relying on the original picture to guess.
What you can observe
Notice attention to letters as well as pictures, and attempts to use a familiar consonant sound in a different, familiar word. Support is still appropriate; tapping speed and remembered sequences do not establish sound knowledge.
Choosing a next step
After consonant-focused practice becomes more familiar, explore LP4 for long vowels and other common sounds. Revisit earlier levels whenever a foundation needs support.
Questions parents ask
We have practised vowels. Is LP3 the next step?
LP3 is the consonant-focused next stage in this series. First notice whether your child can use earlier letter and vowel knowledge. If that still needs substantial support, revisiting LP2 is reasonable.
How does LP3 differ from LP2?
LP2 focuses on vowels; LP3 focuses on consonant recognition and phonics in words, while continuing related vocabulary. Both support reading preparation, but their sound focus differs.
My child names the picture but cannot read the word. How could we use LP3?
With a parent, direct attention to consonants in the printed word and their sounds, gradually reducing picture clues. This is a suggested home activity, not a claim about a particular app feature. Check letter and vowel foundations before choosing LP3.
Does LP3 teach every consonant combination and complex spelling rule?
The confirmed scope is consonant recognition, phonics and related vocabulary. We do not have a complete lesson-by-lesson list of consonant combinations here, so do not claim every combination or rule is covered. Check the actual course contents.
What age is this level for?
We do not assign an unverified age range to these levels. Choose by letter and sound experience and the support a child needs. An App Store age rating is not a curriculum placement level.
Is it free, and must I buy each level separately?
Each level has its own App Store listing. Check download prices, free access, course purchases and any shared entitlements in each current listing and app. We do not promise that all content is free or one purchase covers the series.
Can it be used entirely offline?
The complete offline scope of each level has not been verified in this catalogue. If offline access matters, check the current description and confirm on your device. Purchases and restoration need an App Store connection.
Do these translated pages mean the app supports Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese?
No. These pages explain the courses to parents in five languages. Check the current store listing and app settings for interface and audio languages.
