What’s included? x7 sheets each sheet with x12 cards to read and match (x84 cards in total). Portrait orientation, pdf format (x4 sets included). Who’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics picture and word matching set has been designed to be a simple activity to consolidate learning. This set focuses on ALL sounds in Phase 2 s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently and/or for learners to revisit these sounds with an adult. This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds. This resource is also ideal for learners with additional learning needs. How to use it? Each learner matches the ‘word’ and 'picture’ cards as pairs. There are x4 colour sets included (indicated by the outer line colour of each box) to help keep cards in order. The red set includes words/pictures which only include sounds s, a, t, p, i, n. The orange set includes words/pictures which only include sounds s, a, t, p, i, n AND m, d, g, o, c, k. The yellow set only includes sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k AND ck, e, b, r, u, h. The green set includes sounds in all of Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, b, r, u, h) but with a particular focus on the sounds f, ff, l, ll, ss… Resource Details… ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out in the order that the Phase 2 sounds have been learnt. The words included are listed here: Red Set pin tin tap pants sap (some learners may not be familiar with what ‘sap’ is) ant Orange Set cap pink man pig cogs dig Yellow Set crab hat peg bed pen ted ten red tick bin rock stick bun hut bug mug sun socks Green Set truck cup octopus (the middle 'o’can be pronounced ‘u’ making this sound more difficult for learners to sound out so is red to alert learners that support here may be needed ) slug plug clock lips fig dress handcuffs bull lock Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? x12 sheets for all Phase 2 sounds. Grapheme/picture cards in landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are just learning these sounds for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds. This resource is also ideal for older learners with additional learning needs who need to revisit these sounds. What’s it for? This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce all of Phase 2 sounds - sounding out simple words (all only using sounds within Phase 2) then checking to see if they were correct, promoting autonomy. How to use it? Print resources onto card rather than paper, cut following dotted lines and place the ‘word cards’ on a table top with the last section folded backwards (where the ‘dashed lines’ indicate) to ‘hide’ the image behind the word. Learners sound out and read each word, then can check by looking behind at the hidden (folded back) image to see if they read the word correctly. With the end section folded back these cards can ‘stand up’ on a table top rather than being laid flat, giving them an interactive feel. Resource Details Red set s a t p i n Set 1 s - stamp a - ant t - tap p - pan i - ink n - nest (contains ‘e’ - introduced later, with set 3) Orange Set m d g o c k Set 2 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). The ‘a’ and second ‘o’ in this word may be pronounced in different ways e.g. as an ‘u’ and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky c - cat k - kit (e.g. football/PE kit) Yellow Set ck e u r h b Set 3 ck - duck (ck is the ‘end’ sound here so may catch some learners out) e - egg u - up (escalator - arrow indicates this) r - rat (not to be confused with ‘mouse’) h - hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’) b - bag Green Set f ff l ll ss Set 4 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’) The ‘o’ in the centre of this word may be pronounced ‘oa’ and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky. l - lemon The ‘o’ in the centre of this word may be pronounced ‘u’ and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky. ll - bell (‘end’ sound may catch some learners out) ss - grass (‘end’ sound may catch some learners out) Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? x4 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 (x2 sets included) for letters - s a t p i n AND m d g o c k. Landscape orientation, pdf format. 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!)

What’s included? x4 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 Set 1 (letters - m d g o c k). Portrait orientation, pdf format. 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 six sounds in Phase 2 - s a t p i n AND m d g o c k. Learners sound out the words on the ‘word cards’ and match these to the images on the ‘picture cards’. Answers are clearly presented on pages 3 and 4 for quick easy reference - encouraging learners to be autonomous. This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set (2) has been designed to be a simple, predictable matching activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first set of letters/sounds introduced. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently or for an adult to use to support learners needing some extra help/to revisit these sounds. Phase 2, set 1 (sounds s a t p i n) is also available (in same design) in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use 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 s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k (from sets 1 AND 2) 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.

This resource is also ideal for learners 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… This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has been designed practise sounding out and writing simple words using only sounds in Phase 2. The idea is to introduce the sets in order as the new sounds are introduced to learners. 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) Orange Set 2 Includes words which contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k 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) 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 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’. In addition the ‘o’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’ or ‘a’) l - lemon (the ‘o’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’) ll - bell (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners) ss - grass (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners) Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

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.

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).

What’s included? This download includes x2 resources which have been designed to use separately AND together. In total there are x24 pdf sheets, portrait orientation in colour. These resources are designed around the Phase 2 phonics sounds MDGOCK. One resource is matching grapheme/picture word puzzles - x10 images for the sounds m/d/g/o/c/k. 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). 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 set has been designed to practise matching graphemes with images beginning with each sound AND to sound out words (using letters/sounds within Phases 2 and 3) to write them. Resource 1 Details Grapheme/picture match puzzles The tick in each image box (top right) indicates that this image is a word which can be sounded out. 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 ‘images’.

Learners are to sound out and write the words for the images featured on the sheet, one image per box. These sheets are differentiated - page 1 is easier to complete (than page 2) as lines (to write on) show how many sounds are in each word. Red lines/letters indicate a sound which may be difficult to hear clearly when the word is spoken, e.g. ‘cricket’ is often said as ‘crickit’ with an ‘i’ sound. Learners may need help with these (red) letters/sounds. Page 3 clearly shows the answers. Resource layout The font used on page 1 is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120. The font is the same type on page 4 - size 40. Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

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. One resource is matching grapheme/picture word puzzles - x10 images for the sounds s/a/t/p and x5 images for letters ‘i’ and ’n’. 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). 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 set has been designed to practise matching graphemes with images beginning with each sound AND to sound out words (using letters/sounds within Phases 2 and 3) to write them. Resource 1 Details Grapheme/picture match puzzles The tick in each image box (top right) indicates that this image is a word which can be sounded out. 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 ‘images’. The set of cut up letters and images can be placed on a table top for learners to match as a ‘two part’ mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the corresponding image. s socks/skull/starfish/stamp (on a letter)/snail/slug/sun/sting (from a wasp/bee)/skeleton/swim a abacus/ash/Africa/alarm clock/album/amber/alpaca/advent (calendar)/ant/asparagus t tick/tent/tractor/trees/tooth/truck/toaster/tools/torch/trainers p panda/planets/park/pumpkin/pelican/presents/printer/popcorn/pink/plant i ink/igloo/insects/infant (not ‘baby’)/ingots (gold) n numbers/north/napkin/nest/night Resource 2 Details Writing words resource Pages 1-2.

These sheets are differentiated - page 1 is easier to complete (than page 2) as lines (to write on) show how many sounds are in each word. Red lines/letters 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.

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). 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.
