What’s included?
This download includes x24 A4, pdf sheets (portrait) to practise handwriting all lowercase letter sounds (graphemes) in Phase 3 (phonics) - this includes sounds j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ng, ch, sh, th, ai, ee, ie, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er.

What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to enable learners to practise handwriting the fifth set for phase 3 phonics letters - ear, air, ure, er (this is the last/ninth set in the ‘phonics handwriting set’ - which begins with phase 2 sounds). Learners are guided where to write with a starting dot and grey letter shape to follow. The four different sheets vary in level of support and challenge provided making it easy for adults to select just the right level to match each learners ability. Learners could begin at sheet 1 and revisit these letters working through sheets 2 - 4 which incrementally provide less support yet more challenge each time.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
