For grown-ups
The same Stage 3 sounds as Bug in a Cup, turned towards short O: dog, fog, log, hot, pot and on. Read it second. On is fully sound-it-out even though it looks like a small helper word, so let your child try it. Spot again needs both consonants sounded before blending. The dog finds its way by sound rather than sight, which is worth talking about — it is the same thing your child is learning to do with letters.
