What’s included?
This download includes x9 sheets, all portrait orientation, pdf format.

What’s it for?
These resources are word/picture puzzles to sound out (read) high frequency words (nouns) and match each word with the corresponding image. These words can be sounded out and are clearly linked to phonics Phases 2, 3, 5 and 6+ using a colour coded key (included). You can use this to help you introduce the appropriate word/picture puzzles at the relevant ‘phonics level’ for your learners.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children and pupils in Year 1 who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in Y2 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is ideal for pupils with EAL (English as an Additional Language) and suitable for older learners with additional learning needs.

How to use it?
An adult can pre-cut along dotted lines provided and the set of x45 words (and images) can be shuffled and placed face-up on the carpet/a table top for learners to read and match.

Resource Details…
These words are from the first 200 high frequency word list.

Words have been organised depending on which phonics phase they fit in with. This colour coded system is made clear by a ‘key’ displayed top, right on every page of the resource.

• pink indicates that the words are from phase 2
• purple indicates that the words are from phase 3
• turquoise indicates that the words are from phase 5
• grey indicates that the words are from phase 6+
• underlined indicates that together underlined letters have one sound, for example â€ÈÙ³ó’ in ‘f¾±²õ³ó’
• red letters indicate the tricky letters. Red/tricky letters includes ‘irregular’ letters/sounds, e.g. ‘g²µâ€™ in the word ‘egg’
• the small white tick (top-left of each image box) indicates that these words are intended to be sounded out

In the ‘word box’ at the top-right there is a coloured triangle which links to this colour coded system. You can use this to help you introduce the word/picture puzzles according to which phonics level your learners are at.
