Wordsearch Number names to twenty x3 versions

(0)
What’s included? This download includes six pages (x6 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for number names from ‘one’ to ‘twenty’ (page 1) and the answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2). The wordsearch letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young readers especially pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Knowing these number names (words) is also an important part of maths in these year groups as questions and information often includes the number name as the written word (e.g. ‘three’) instead of the more easily recognisable numeral (e.g. ‘3’). Resource layout The twenty number name words have been organised into four groups of five, clearly showing all hidden number words in order up to twenty. There are x20 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (up and down - both directions). Directional arrows on the answer sheet (page 2) make it clear exactly where to look if learners get stuck. The version of this word search which includes numerals is ideal for those learners either needing the additional support of having the numeral AND the number name shown together. For learners who would like an extra challenge, the numerals from 1 - 20 are all also hidden within the wordsearch. Once the learner has located each of these they could be circled on the wordsearch and ticked off in the box below. The numerals have been included in a variety of font styles to encourage learners to get used to recognising numerals written differently. On the colour/black and white versions of the word search there is a space in the four boxes (under the wordsearch where the hidden words are displayed) for learners to write the numerals next to the number names themselves. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible - if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused, or the black and white version is a good version for photocopying.

Alphabet matching lower/uppercase letters - Feed rabbit carrots

(0)
New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes x4 A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise matching upper and lowercase alphabet letters using an alphabet strip (showing capital letters) and carrots (for lowercase letters). Two pages include instructions on how to make a rabbit face into a ‘posting box’ with clear photos supporting each step. An empty tissue box is needed to make this resource. Dotted guide lines show where to cut. There are also two ‘slits’ which need making and a hole to be cut (inside the rabbits mouth) - these may be best made using a craft knife (used well away from little people!) This resource is designed for an adult to make ‘for’ learners to use. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise recognising and matching upper and lowercase alphabet letters and to become more familiar with the ‘alphabetical order’ of all alphabet letters. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed to be used by early years children and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The photo shows how this resource looks which complete. The idea is that learners move the capital letter alphabet strip left/right to show a different capital letter. They then ‘post’ the matching lowercase alphabet letter (carrot!) into the rabbit’s mouth. This is an ideal activity to keep learners busy and independent. I have included two versions of the letter ‘k’ as some learners may be more used to the look of one style than the other. There is also a ‘blank’ carrot included in case one gets lost.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes x2 pages, portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This 3D shape wordsearch includes 3D shape names and related vocabulary with images of the shapes included (page 1). The answers (page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, including their direction and how many words there are to find, with a hidden bonus word for learners to think about to find. Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners, especially pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Pupils with EAL (English as an additional language) are supported by the images of the 3D shapes. Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid The 3D shape names (and related words) have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden ‘shape words’ below the word search. There are x16 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (backwards not forwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally. The direction of the hidden words is made clear at the top of page 1. Once learners have completed the wordsearch they could cross-check their answers independently - promoting autonomy. Words to find are: base face edge flat curved round sphere cone cube cuboid prism cylinder pyramid straight vertex hemisphere Recommendations We recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words, enabling all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible in order to find all of the hidden words. If words are ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.

The 2D shape names (and related words) have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden ‘shape words’ below the word search. There are x16 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards not backwards) OR vertically (up as well as down). The direction of the hidden words is made clear at the top of page 1. Once learners have completed the wordsearch they could cross-check their answers independently - promoting autonomy. Words to find are: ellipse circle semi circle heart round triangle edges side square rectangle rhombus vertices pentagon hexagon star regular Extension The 2D shape images are hidden in this word search as well as the 2D shape names. For learners who would like an extra challenge, learners can find (and name) these 2D shapes - ticking the images off as they find them in the boxes below the word search (on page 1). Recommendations We recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words, enabling all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified.

Alphabet Matching Set (Square cards)

(0)
New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This download includes nine A4, portrait pdf sheets which make a number matching set featuring x54 cards which includes all letters of the alphabet with an image to match. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is to practise identifying the initial sounds for x26 images and matching these to the written letter/sound (grapheme). Both upper and lowercase letters are including - helping to reinforce both. How to use this resource This matching activity has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on a ring. Learners look at each picture card and (if they are able) say what it is. Learners then say the initial sound for each picture and match the ‘picture’ card to the alphabet ‘letter’ card which shows the same initial sound. Once the set is matched into pairs (picture and letter cards together) learners can then order the card pairs from the beginning to the end of the alphabet or in reverse which can be much trickier! Pictures included are apple, banana, car, dog (Dachshund!), egg, frog, grass, house, ink, jam, key, lemon, milk, nine numbers, orange, pink pig, quarter, robot, sun, tree, upside-down umbrella, van, wall (not to be confused with ‘bricks’ !) xylophone, yellow yoyo, zebra. This alphabet matching set could be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to cross-check the correct orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. Games This ‘Alphabet Match’ set could also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the picture cards or all the letter cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small amount of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource. Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we are happy to make changes. Feedback of this resource would be brilliant. Thank you!

There are x19 picture/word puzzles included. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce the first twelve sounds in Phase 2 - s a t p i n m d g o c k. Learners match pictures and sounds (as puzzles) to complete images and make a simple words to read. All words on the ‘picture puzzles’ only use these sounds. This activity set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first set of letters/sounds introduced. These resources are also ideal to use to revisit these sounds later if learners need some additional support with these. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently when these sounds are first introduced as a quieter time activity or for an adult to provide some small group/one to one support revisiting these sounds. How to use it? Picture/word puzzles Pages 1 and 2 An adult cuts out the x19 puzzle shapes following dotted lines. The segments of all x19 ‘picture/word puzzles’ can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to match. These two sets can be used separately or together - both are colour coded. Set 1 (letter ‘s a t p i n’) is red/pink, set 2 (letters ‘m d g o c k’) is orange/yellow. Once the segments of each picture/word puzzle are completed each of the words can be read. Resource details Words included Set 1 spin (a globe) pants snap (something a crocodile can do) pin pan tin sat (the cat is sat on the chair) snip (scissors can snip) sit (a cat can sit on a sofa) Set 2 dog cogs (learners may not be familiar with what these are) map pig cap pod (learners may not know what a ‘pod’ is or that peas grow in a pod) pot dig (what a spade is used for) man mat (the cat is sat on it!)

The adult can pre-cut the x16 rectangular shaped picture cards (x8) and word cards (x8) (pages 1 and 2). Grey dotted lines guide where to cut. These x16 cards can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to read and match. Resource Details… The words on the word cards only use the letters/sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k These words are: - dog, map, pig, cap, pot, mat, pod, cogs Learners may find ‘pod’, ‘cogs’ and ‘mat’ more tricky to match as these three words are not as obvious/may be ‘new’ concepts to learners, encouraging learners to think a bit more about the meaning of the words on the cards. E.g. some learners may not know that a ‘pea’ grows inside of a ‘pod’. Learners may not know/be familiar with ‘cogs’ (or know they are called) and learners may confuse ‘cat’ with ‘mat’. I have included an orange arrow pointing to the ‘mat’ to help make this clearer. Important message… Phase 2, set 1 (sounds s a t p i n) is also available.

What’s it for? This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce the next six sounds in Phase 2 - m d g o c k. Learners match pictures and sounds (as puzzles) to complete images and make a simple words to read. Learners can then use these completed puzzles to fill out missing words in sentences (either separate sentences or all sentences on one sheet) to complete, then read whole (simple) sentences. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. How to use it? All words on the ‘picture puzzles’ only use the sounds ‘m d g o c k’. Picture/word puzzles Pages 1 and 2 An adult cuts out the x10 puzzle shapes following dotted lines. The segments of all x10 ‘picture/word puzzles’ can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to match. Once the segments of each picture/word puzzle are completed each of the x9 words can be read. The completed ‘picture puzzles’ can be used as a reference to complete the missing words for x10 sentences (pages 3-5). Writing words/reading sentences Pages 3-6 There are two versions of the same x10 sentences to complete, each has a missing word with a clear space for each of the missing letters (graphemes) to be written. A larger format version of the sentences set out individually (pages 3 and 4) which can be cut up (perhaps laminated) and written on (if laminated - with a dry wipe/wipe clean pen). The smaller scale version (page 5) has the same x10 sentences but all on one page for learners to complete with a pencil, as a ‘worksheet’. Answers are included on page 6 in the same format which learners can use for quick, easy reference. *Resource Details… Pages 3-6 The sentences include high frequency words ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘this’, ‘is’, ‘go’, ‘on’, ’can’. ‘A pink _ _ _’. (pig) (‘pink’ can be sounded out) ‘This is a hot _ _ _ ‘. (pot) (‘h’ in ‘hot’ may not have been introduced yet) ‘This is a _ _ _ ‘. (dog) ‘The _ _ _ _ can spin‘.

Sets have been designed to be used in the order that ‘new’ sounds are introduced. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children, pupils in Year 1 who are just learning these sounds for the first time or who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds. This resource is also ideal for older pupils with additional learning needs. How to use it? An adult cuts along the dotted lines and places the set of x6 word cards on a table top. Learners look at the image on the left, then sound it out and write this word on the lines (on the right). A visual answer sheet is included which learners can use themselves to encourage autonomy. Resource Details… s a t p i n Red Set 1 Includes words which all contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n s - stamp a - ant t - tap p - pan i - ink n - nest (contains ‘e’ - introduced in set 3) m d g o c k Orange Set 2 Includes words which contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k m - map d - dog g - gift (contains ‘f’ ‘ introduced later, with set 4) o - octagon (although this is a longer word it can be sounded out using sounds from sets 1 and 2. IF learners know this 2D shape. In addition, the ‘a’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’, learners may need help with this) c - cat k - kit (e.g. football/PE kit) ck e u r h b** Yellow Set 3 Includes words which all contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, b, r, u, h ck, e, b, r, u, h ck - duck (first ‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners) e - egg (double ‘gg’ may be an issue though of course the ‘g’ letters together only have one ‘g’ sound) u - up (escalator - arrow indicates this) r - rat (not to be confused with ‘mouse’ !) h - hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’ !) b - bag ** f ff l ll ss** Green Set 4 Includes words which contain all the sounds in Phase 2. f - frog ff - daffodil (‘middle’ sound may catch out some learners) Learners will need to know this particular flower or may just associate this image with ‘flower’ (for ‘f’.

Autumn Themed Wordsearches set x9 included

What’s included? This download includes x9 word searches (all portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring nine ‘Autumn themed’ word searches. Page 1 features the word search and the answers (included on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden. Answers are displayed in the same layout (as page 1) to promote autonomy whilst providing easy comparison/quick reference. Autumn themed word searches included in this download are Autumn, September, Back to school, October, Harvest Festival, Halloween, November, Bonfire Night, Remembrance Day. Each of these word searches are also available separately in my TES shop. Who’s it for? These word searches have been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support. Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The November word search is x13 squares up/down x14 squares across and the ‘Harvest Festival’ word search is x10 squares up/down and x12 squares across. The hidden words have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden question words below the word search. There are up to 22 words to find per worksheets. Words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) and vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards and backwards). Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback of this resource would be brilliant. Thank you! **New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available!

Alphabet match - red, orange, yellow, green and blue sets

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x22 pdfs, portrait in colour each featuring ten/five images that all begin with one sound for learners to match - the grapheme and the image with that initial sound. What’s it for? This resource is to enable learners to practise identifying the first (initial) sound (phoneme) of objects (images) and match these with the correct, matching letter (grapheme). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support, revisiting any/all of these sounds. How to use it? An adult prints each sheet out (ideally onto card) and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate the ‘letters’ from the ‘images’ (instructions are included on each sheet itself). These pieces (images and letters) can then be placed on a table top for learners to match - the image with the matching/correct initial letter sound as a two part mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the images which have the same initial letter. Resource Details The images chosen all have a clear initial letter sound at the beginning but are not words which can easily be sounded out. The focus of this activity is purely to identify the initial letter sound for these images - the cross (top right of each image) indicates that these images are not to be sounded out. Letters of the alphabet together are grouped together as listed below - Red Set - letters a, e, i, o, u (letters e and o / i and u are together, x5 images each) Orange Set - letters b, d, g, p, q Yellow Set - letters c, f, k, s, t Green Set - letters h, l, m, n, r Blue Set - letters j, v, w, x, y, z (letters v and y / x and z are together, x5 images each) The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120, so a large, ‘easy to read’ size. The layout of every letter/sound in this set is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent. This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising these letters and identifying the correct initial letter (phonics) sound for ten (or five) images (per letter).

This download includes x2 resources which have been designed to use separately AND together. In total there are x20 pdf sheets, portrait orientation in colour. What’s it for? This download includes two activities which can be used together. These resources enable learners to use their knowledge of the sounds m d g o c k to match initial sounds (graphemes) with the corresponding picture (resource 1). Once these ‘sound/picture’ jigsaw puzzles have been completed learners can use their knowledge of Phase 2/3 sounds to write these words (resource 2). Who’s it for? This resource set has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Overview The first resource involves matching two-part ‘grapheme/picture’ puzzles. There are x10 images for all sounds. The second resource involves sounding out these words and writing them - using sounds only in Phases 2 and 3 - perfect to practise and reinforce Phase 2/3 sound knowledge. This (second) resource is differentiated with a more and less supported version depending on your learners’ needs, the difficulty level is identified as an icon at the base of each sheet (right side). Resource 1 Details - ‘Grapheme/picture’ match puzzles The tick in each jigsaw puzzle picture box (top right) indicates that this image is a word which can be sounded out. Once they have matched all the two-part jigsaw puzzles learners can write these words (resource 2). How to use it? Print out ‘Grapheme/picture match puzzles’ sheet onto card and cut along dots to separate ‘letters/graphemes’ from ‘pictures’. The set of cut up letters and pictures can be placed on a table top for learners to match as a ‘two part’ mini jigsaw puzzle.

Page 1 provides more support as it includes the number of lines to write on - showing how many sounds are in each word. Page 2 has one line for each word. Pages 1-2. Learners write the sounds/words for the pictures. Red letters/lines (to write on) indicate a ‘tricky’ sound which may be difficult to hear clearly when the word is spoken. E.g. ‘dragon’ is often said as ‘dragun’ with an ‘u’ sound’. Learners may need help with these (red) letters/sounds. Page 3 Answers.

What’s included? This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one ‘Back to school’ word search (page 1). The answers on page 2 clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) to promote autonomy whilst providing easy comparison/quick reference. Other seasonal wordsearches including Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, Harvest Festival, Halloween, Bonfire Night and other seasonal celebrations are also available in my TES shop. Who’s it for? This word search has been designed for pupils in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support. Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The Back to school words have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x17 words to find. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards). Words to find are; uniform, tie, coat, shoes, September, teacher, pupils, class, term, pencil case, pen, ruler, date, lunch money, lunchbox, name tag and backpack. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified.
