What’s included?
This download includes x4 sheets, all portrait orientation, pdf format.

What’s it for?
This activity has been designed for learners to look more closely at a set of common words, which are important and useful to be able to read, write and spell. Learners match words with images by completing two-piece jigsaw puzzles. This set focuses on all ‘number names’ from one to twenty - all words included have a matching image featuring the numeral and correct number of objects (2D shapes).

This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently or pupils needing some individual support.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds (and words/numbers) for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words as well as counting practise and time spent recognising numerals to 20. This resource may be suitable for older learners with additional learning needs.

How to use it?
An adult pre-cuts along the dotted lines and the set of x20 words (and images) can be shuffled and placed face-up on the carpet/a table top for learners to look at and match. This number names set has 2D shapes to count for each number to help learners identify each numeral.

Resource Details
It is possible to ‘sound out’ most of these words - whether ‘sounding out’ is possible (or not) is indicated by a ‘tick’ or ‘cross’ symbol at the top of the picture and word box. The graphemes in those words which can be sounded out are underlined - making clear how many sounds are in each word. Those words which are tricky and cannot be ‘sounded out’ have a small ‘cross’ symbol at the top of the picture and word box, in addition - these words are underlined with one (single) line.

Key
At the top-right of each ‘word box’ there is a coloured ‘triangle’. This colour indicates which phonics phase that word fits in with, see details below:

• pink triangles indicate that the words are from phase 2
• purple triangles indicate that the words are from phase 3
• turquoise triangles indicate that the words are from phase 5
• underlined letters indicates that the letters (together) have one sound
• red letters indicate the tricky/irregular letters/sounds.

This colour-coded ‘key’ is included at the top of each sheet to make this colour-coded system clear.

It is possible to ‘work out’ some words which contain some red letters if the focus is placed on the black letters in those words which should be sounds learners know (depending on which phonics-phase they are competent in).

The blue box outline colour indicates that these words are all part of the ‘number names’ set.
