What’s included?
x2 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. Two resources (two downloads) included.

Who’s it for?
These resources have been designed for learners in the Early Years and Years 1 and 2.

Resource 1 is aimed at learners who have learnt phonics in Phases 2, 3 and 5 as well as older pupils who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds.

Resource 2 is aimed at learners needing to practise ordering words alphabetically.

What’s it for?
Resource 1 enables learners to use their phonic knowledge (from phonics phases 2, 3 and 5) to write each colour word included. Resource 2 provides x12 colour words to order alphabetically - with an alphabet visual support provided to support learners (as needed).

Both resources have been designed to promote autonomy - clear answers are included for learners to then check themselves after having a try. However - although answers are provided the design enables these to be folded out of sight while learners complete each activity.

How to use it?
In combining these two resources together learners can complete Resource 1 first (sounding out and writing colour words) before moving onto Resource 2 (ordering colour-words alphabetically).

Resource 1
Each colour (balloon) has the correct number of lines underneath for learners to sound out each colour word and write the graphemes (on these lines).

Resource 2
Once learners have completed writing the x8 colour-names (resource 1) in resource 2 each colour word is displayed under each of the x12 coloured balloons at the top of the sheet. These balloons are to be cut out (following the dotted lines) and the colour-words ordered alphabetically on the grid-row positioned in the centre of the sheet.

Resource Details…
Resource 1
The colour of each tick (above each balloon) indicates which phonics phase the sounds for that word are from making this ideal to target specific phonics areas and encouraging learners to practise their knowledge in this (colour word) context.

Resource 2
Learners will each need a pencil to write their name and record the number date (top, right). They will also need access to a pair of scissors and a glue stick.

For those learners needing additional support the colour words can be cross referenced with the alphabet included (at the top of the sheet) to help learners order these alphabetically.

For more able learners/those needing a more of a challenge this supporting alphabet-reference can be folded back (out of sight) for learners to instead use their memory/recall their knowledge of the alphabet - to be used as appropriate depending on the needs of each learner.
