What’s included?
This download includes three pdf sheets, portrait, in colour/B&W featuring ten images that all begin with the ‘p’ sound. The images can be matched to reinforce knowledge of the ‘p’ sound as well as ordering the images to make a miniature ‘Pp’ book (included).
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This resource is to reinforce learners knowledge of the ‘p’ sound, to practise matching two items with the same sound and to use their knowledge of the alphabet to make a a miniature ‘Pp’ book.
This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising the letters, reinforcing learners knowledge of the initial ‘p’ sound and developing the skill of ordering items alphabetically.
This resource is designed to be used by itself, however as other sets are available different sounds could be combined and presented to learners for them to sort according to which initial sound the different (mixed) images have.
How to use it?
All sheets can be printed onto paper. Page 3 can be made into a miniature book (simple instructions included). To make a book scissors and a glue stick are all that is needed. Once the book is made either the colour set of words/images (page 1) OR the black and white set of words/images (page 2) can be cut and ordered alphabetically and then stuck into the miniature book (one word/image per page).
Page 1 is the colour version of words/images which all begin with ‘p’. These can be cut up (using the dotted lines as a guide for where to cut). Page 2 is the black and white version of page 1 but in addition includes the outline of each word with a starting dot for each letter - encouraging learners to write the word for each image themselves. Learners can also colour these images.
Pages 1 and 2 could be used together as two sets of cards to play a pairs/matching game, for this these pages would be better printed onto card (so that the images cannot be seen through the back as would be the case if using paper).
Resource details
The images included for p are:
panda, peacock, pear, pencil, penguin, pigeon, pineapple, pizza, planet, and polar bear.

What’s included?
This download includes x3 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the lowercase letters s, f, x, z, e. The way these letters are written is more irregular than the letters in the other groups (also available in my TES shop - for free!)
Who’s it for?
These resources have been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
These resources have been designed as these letters are 'similar’ - the way they are formed is more ‘irregular’ than the other letter groups. These letters zig zag (the letter ‘z’), start and stop in alternating directions (the letter ‘x’), twist and turn (AND start and stop!) - letters ’s’ and ‘f’, begin writing in a reverse direction than ‘usual’ (the letter ‘e’). These handwriting sheets should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters.
Resource details
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write.
I have grouped these letters into pairs - s/f, x/z and e/z.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the number date at the top, right of the sheet. It would be helpful to keep completed sheets to track progress (and improvement!) over time.
All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.

This colour-word writing resource enables learners to use their phonic knowledge (from phonics phases 2, 3 and 5) to write each of the x8 colour-words included.
This activity is ideal for individuals to be getting on with independently and has been designed to promote autonomy - clear answers are included yet are to be folded out of sight for learners to then check themselves after having a try.
This could also be used by learners to revisit/practise writing these sounds with an adult.
How to use it?
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). Where more than one letter forms the grapheme the line provided is wider/longer, guiding learners on whether the phoneme is one letter or two.
Resource Details…
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.
The words included are:
Phase 2
red, pink, black
Phase 3
yellow, green, brown, silver
Phase 5
blue

What’s included?
This download includes x6 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting all lowercase letters. Letters have been grouped according to how they are written - by similar shape and orientation. There are x5 sets included in total.
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.
What’s it for?
These unique resources have been designed to really focus in on the detail - making how to write each letter as clear as possible to learners.
This resource has been designed to encourage autonomy and so self confidence while making the process as clear as possible for learners to follow once they understand the colour order to follow (shown at the top of every sheet as a reference) and the meaning of each coloured ‘dot’ (also clearly displayed at the top of every sheet).
How to use it?
Learners are clearly guided on exactly where to place their pencil to begin writing each letter (identified by a green dot). Changes in direction (requiring a momentary pause) are indicated with an orange dot (as with an amber traffic light - indicating waiting and thinking). Where to stop (and remove the pencil from the paper) is indicated with a red ‘stop’ dot.
Learners are also visually guided by a uniform colour system showing the direction to follow which is further reinforced by directional chevron shaped arrows.
Resource details
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std.
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and coloured chevron lines providing guidance of exactly where (which direction) to write.
Letters are grouped into these sets. Set numbers are included on every sheet.
c o a d g q (Set 1, x1 page)
r n m h b p k (Set 2, x2 pages)
l i j t (Set 3, x1 page)
u y v w (Set 4, x1 page)
s f x z e (Set 5, x1 page)
Learners can write their name on the line provided at the base of the sheet and record the longer word-date (top, right).
All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.

What’s included?
x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for learners in the Early Years, pupils in Year 1 and 2 who are learning how to order words alphabetically. This resource is also ideal for older learners needing to revisit/practise the concept of alphabetical order.
What’s it for?
Using their alphabet knowledge learners cut out and order each colour word (balloon) included.
This activity is ideal for individuals to be getting on with independently and has been designed to promote autonomy - clear answers are included yet are to be folded out of sight for learners to then check themselves after having a try.
For learners needing more support this activity could completed with an adult.
How to use it?
Each colour word is clearly included under each coloured balloon at the top of the sheet. These are to be cut out (following the dotted lines) and the balloons ordered alphabetically on the grid-row included.
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.
Resource Details…
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.
The x12 colour words included are:
red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, silver and gold.

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.
