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).

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 capital letters of the alphabet! Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students who would benefit from investigating the concept of ‘symmetry’ and ‘symmetrical’ or students needing additional learning support. How to use it? The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by first cutting around each capital letter to investigate one letter at a time. It is best to begin by folding letters and cutting once learners are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry. A (safety!) mirror could be helpful as a back up to check (especially if letters have already been cut up). Resource Details… Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Page 1 At the top are ‘larger’ capital letters, each within a dotted box - these dots guide where to cut. Learners can cut out one of these larger letters at a time (to avoid having lots of letters in front of them at once and risk losing some). Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Along the length of base side of the sheet is a set of smaller capital letters designed to be cut with two simple snips (vertically up to the red line and then horizontally) to separate these from the sheet one at a time. These are designed to be used to record findings (answers) - on page 2. The larger capital letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated. Page 2 Learners will need a pencil to their write their name at the base of page 2 and access to a glue stick to continue their investigation using page 2. Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller capital letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical. Page 3 Clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation. Page 4 Clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, but in more detail - including where the actual lines of symmetry are. For learners who might find the concept of symmetry difficult they can use page 4 (instead of page 1) and use the lines of symmetry included here to explore for themselves where to fold to investigate ‘symmetry’ with support.

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 seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to make a number matching set featuring x40 cards (Rainbow Dots to count and numerals from 1 to 20 to match). How to use this resource These square cards are designed to be joined together using a plastic clip/string or ribbon (maybe fastened with velcro for easy opening). The numeral cards (like number fans) can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. However these have been designed to be a counting 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 the ring (shuffled or in order). Learners then count the rainbow dots on each card and find the matching numeral (or vice versa!). Once complete (or ‘as they go’ if working ‘in order’) learners can then order the numeral and picture cards together to create a complete set from 1 to 20 or backwards depending on the focus. These could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. This ‘number match’ set could also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting 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 Rainbow Dot cards or all the numeral cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. 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. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic (as seen on the main resource image). Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small piece 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.

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 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. 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).

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 resources which have been designed to use separately AND together. There are x25 pdf sheets. 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 s a t p i n to match graphemes with the corresponding picture AND word (resource 1). Once these ‘sound/word/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 1 ’Grapheme/word/picture’ match puzzles There are x10 images for the sounds s/a/t/p and x5 images for letters ‘i’ and ’n’. 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 three-part jigsaw puzzles learners can write these words (resource 2). How to use it? An adult prints out ‘Grapheme/picture match puzzles’ sheet onto card and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate ‘letters/graphemes’ from ‘words’ and ‘pictures’. The set of cut up letters/words/pictures can then be placed on a table top for learners to match as ‘three part’ mini jigsaw puzzles. Each letter only fits the corresponding word and picture.

Page 1 provides more support for learners than page 2 as page 1 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 sound out and write the words for the pictures featured on the sheet, one picture per box. Red letters/lines (to write on) indicate a ‘tricky’ sound which may be difficult to hear clearly when the word is spoken. E.g. ‘planets’ is often said as ‘planits’ with an ‘i’ sound. Learners may need help with these (red) letters/sounds. Page 3 clearly shows the answers. Important ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we are happy to make changes.

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 sheets, all portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This set focuses on tricky words, all ‘nouns’ with a matching image. This activity has been designed for learners to look more closely at some of the first 200 high frequency words and attempt to read these words. Although these words are not intended to be ‘sounded out’ as it is difficult to do so - if learners focus on the black letters (red letters indicate sounds are tricky) they can use their phonics knowledge to ‘work out’ the black letter sounds and (along with looking at the images) attempt to read the words. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for 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 could support pupils with EAL (English as an Additional Language) and older learners with additional learning needs. How to use it? Adults pre-cut along dotted lines and shuffle the set of x17 words (and images) then place cards 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 coded system is made clear by a ‘key’ displayed top, right on every page of the resource. underlined indicates that together underlined letters have one sound, for example ‘sh’ in ‘shoe’ red letters indicate the tricky/irregular letters, e.g. ‘gi’ in ‘giant’ or letters which may be pronounced differently e.g. the ‘er’ in ‘water’ is often pronounced as ‘uh’ or ‘a’. the small white cross (top-left of each image box) indicates that these words are not intended to be sounded out, though (as said) if learners focus on the black letters in these words, along with the pictures, they may be able to identify words to read/match them. Words included The words on sheets 1 to 4 have been arranged alphabetically and are as follows: ball bear clothes door eyes giant head horse house magic mouse money one school shoe two water Important message… Any issues please let us know - we are happy to make changes.

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 portrait orientation, pdf sheets. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise reading and writing x8 simple sentences to identify and make corrections to each one. Every sentence has x3 errors to correct. Two answer pages are included in the same format, making every error made clear. Answers could be used by learners to cross-check their sentences, promoting autonomy. Who’s it for? This resource is aimed at learners who are learning Phase 5 phonics, this may be learners in Reception, years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Pages 1 and 2 both include x4 sentences, each in a separate box and illustrated with a simple image on the right. Both pages include the same instructions at the top - making it clear to learners that there are x3 errors in each sentence and what these errors may be. Types of error include: spellings capital letters finger spaces full stops Sentences include words containing Phase 5 sounds: ea ay a-e aw ph High frequency words included are: she you his are and said see their not with at the to do that can in loved dad Picture Clues The pictures provide clues to help read unfamiliar words e.g. lions, zoo, sheep, lambs, chicken, grapes, bake, encouraging learners to use a range of reading skills when decoding these sentences if they are not at a level to read them on-sight. Answers (Pages 3 and 4) Answers clearly show each error which is circled in pink and corrected underneath. Important message… Any issues let us know - we are happy to make changes.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the various lines of symmetry within x8 2D shapes. This investigation can be done by cutting/folding (ideally first) then recording these finding by drawing the lines of symmetry (using a ruler) onto the shapes on the sheet. Black and white AND colour versions of both sheets (cut/fold, drawing lines versions) included. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support. This resource may also be suitable for children in EYFS although with younger ages it would probably be a good idea to upscale the sheets to a larger size (on a photocopier/scanner) first. How to use it? The learner can explore lines of symmetry in two ways, either using a pencil and ruler or cutting out the shapes and folding them to investigate the lines of symmetry. Suggestion I would encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry within these 2D shapes by first cutting out the shapes (using the colour/black and white version designed for this - see pages 3 and 4). Once pupils have investigated these by folding they could then use pages 1/2 (colour/black and white) to record their findings with a pencil and ruler. Using safety mirrors along side cutting and folding AND when recording the ‘answers’ (using a pencil and ruler) will really help pupils to become clear and accurate in their mind as to whether they have found the line of symmetry. Important… Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line ‘through’ this centre point in order to be accurate in their findings. Answers are included on a separate page in the same format which learners could use for quick, easy reference. Resource Details lines of symmetry (or recording ‘answers after investigation) using a pencil and ruler in colour (page 3) and black and white (page 4). Pupils will need a pencil and a ruler each. *Investigating lines of symmetry by folding. x8 2D shapes will need cutting out (these could be pre-cut for pupils who find cutting out challenging). Pale grey, dotted ‘cutting out guidelines’ are included. Pupils will need a pencil (to ensure their write their name on their cut-out shapes!) and a pair of scissors each. 2D shapes included are right angled triangle, equilateral triangle, heart, circle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. 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! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? This pdf download includes x3 landscape orientation sheets featuring x7 colour ‘splats’ with colour name labels with clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate/cellophane colours for (window) display. What’s it for? These colours have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the coloured shapes look beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the colour ‘falls’ depends on the position of the colours in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole set of colours together as a focus to encourage learners to recognise and name each colour. The colours can of course be repositioned and displayed as you choose. A ‘Colours!’ label (to be displayed with the set of shapes) is included. This resource would also support work on shadows and light/dark. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students who would appreciate a pop of colour shining through when the sun comes out! Resource Details There are x3 pages. The first page includes clear instructions with two colours, the second page includes remaining colours in the set and the last page the ‘Colours!’ word label. The colours featured in this resource are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink and purple. Suggestions We recommend printing and making these letters out of white card - paper would be too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are quite inexpensive online. We also recommend also backing every colour in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time and to do this x6 sheets of A4 white card will be needed (instead of x3 sheets).
