There are four sheets included, slightly different in design and level of challenge/support provided, though each sheet is numbered 1 - 4 (at the top of each sheet). These numbers (and the cover image) left to right indicate the levels in order of easiest to hardest. Sheet 1 provides the most support with the least amount of challenge, sheet 4 provides the least amount of support with the most challenge.

Phase 2 Phonics fans x4 colour coded sets

(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 four A4, portrait pdf sheets to make x4 phonics fans featuring all sounds in Phase 2. What’s it for? These phonics fans can be used in a variety of ways to practise and reinforce learners knowledge of all Phase 2 sounds. Fans can be made as separate sets or combined on one ring depending on the needs of your learner/s to explore independently, as part of a group or class. The fans can be used to sort/match, answer questions and play games. 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. Resource Details Red Set 1 (page 1) Includes sounds s a t p i n Orange Set 2 (page 2) Includes sounds m d g o c k Yellow Set 3 (page 3) Includes sounds ck e b r u h Green Set 4 (page 4) Includes sounds f ff l ll ss How to use this resource As all letter sounds for Phase 2 are included here the all can be combined onto one ring as one set. I have included ‘covers’ for each individual set incase the preference is to split the sets. A ‘cover’ for ALL sounds is included on Page 4. Phonics 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. Learners can use these phonics fans as a personal reference resource to cross-check the correct grapheme or orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. Phonics fans can also be used for a variety of games and to involve learners during sound rhymes and songs. These fans are a great size to fit into a pocket or clip onto a lanyard to be accessed both inside the classroom and outdoors. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic. These could be ideal should you wish learners to access the contents of the ring (e.g. to order the letters) and come in a variety of colours. Alternatively I have found standard metal keyrings also work well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the keyring. I recommend that each letter is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf. Important message… ANY issues with these phonics fans please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback of these resources would be wonderful! Thank you.

Phase 3 ‘Tricky Words’ Handwriting practise

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? What is it?! This download includes two A4, pdf sheet (portrait) to practise handwriting Phase 3 ‘tricky words’ - be, he, she, me, we, my, you, her, here, are, they, all, was. 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. Resource details 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. The words have each been repeated three times (in three columns) left to right. There are clear, visual, instructions at the top of each sheet, in three parts (left to right). In the centre (at the top) the colour order to follow is clearly illustrated, guiding learners to begin with dark green, follow light green, pale yellow, mid yellow, orange and then red to ‘stop’. Not all letters have enough steps to follow through using all of these colours. This resource has been designed for learners to write one word at a time, gradually reducing the level of support provided (left to right). E.g. learners begin with the word on the left (in the first column) and once they have written this they move onto the same word, to the right (in the centre/column two). Lastly learners write the same word a third time on the right (column three). The first word (column one) has a green (‘go’) starting dot, coloured arrows around the outside of each letter to show the direction to move the pencil from the beginning to the end red (‘stop’) dot. The second word (column two) also includes a green starting (‘go’) dot and red (‘stop’) dot as well as one arrow per letter making clear the initial direction the pencil should move in. The third word (column three) includes a dark grey starting dot and light grey stop dot for each letter. Learners will need to use the knowledge they have learnt from writing each word twice before to complete writing ‘word three’ more independently. At the base of the sheet there is also a space to further practise writing each of these words twice and smaller (each positioned on a line). The words at the base of the sheet only have a grey starting dot to help learners. There is a clear space at the lowest edge of both sheets for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheets (right side) a space for the number date. The font used in the coloured boxes is Sassoon Infant Std - size 65. The words at the base of the sheet are the same font but smaller - size 40.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? What is it?! This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait) to practise handwriting six Phase 2 ‘tricky words’ - I, the, to, no, go, into. 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. Resource details 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. The six words have each been repeated three times (in three columns) left to right. There are clear, visual, instructions at the top of the sheet, in three parts (left to right). In the centre (at the top) the colour order to follow is clearly illustrated, guiding learners to begin with dark green, follow light green, pale yellow, mid yellow, orange and then red to ‘stop’. Not all letters have enough steps to follow through using all of these colours. This resource has been designed for learners to write one word at a time, gradually reducing the level of support provided (left to right). E.g. learners begin with the word on the left (in the first column) and once they have written this they move onto the same word, to the right (in the centre/column two). Lastly learners write the same word a third time on the right (column three). The first word (column one) has a green (‘go’) starting dot, coloured arrows around the outside of each letter to show the direction to move the pencil from the beginning to the end red (‘stop’) dot. The second word (column two) also includes a green starting (‘go’) dot and red (‘stop’) dot as well as one arrow per letter making clear the initial direction the pencil should move in. The third word (column three) includes a dark grey starting dot and light grey stop dot for each letter. Learners will need to use the knowledge they have learnt from writing each word twice before to complete writing ‘word three’ more independently. At the base of the sheet there is also a space to further practise writing each of these words twice and smaller (each positioned on a line). The words at the base of the sheet only have a grey starting dot to help learners. There is a clear space at the lowest edge of the sheet for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheet (right side) a space for the number date - helpful to keep track of progress if learners revisit this activity if needed. The font used in the coloured boxes is Sassoon Infant Std - size 65. The words at the base of the sheet are the same font but smaller - size 40.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x10 sheets (picture and word cards) for simple words to sound out focusing on the sounds ‘a, e, i, o and u’. This download includes x5 sets of x20 cards (x10 pictures and x10 words per set). Portrait orientation, pdf format. What’s it for? This phonics activity enables learners to sound out graphemes to read simple simple words (all contain the ‘a/e/i/o or u’ sound) to match with the corresponding picture. This set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently. 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. How to use it? An adult needs to print and pre-cut the cards into rectangles (dotted guide lines make where to cut clear). Each set (a/e/i/o/u) is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed and to help finding a relevant matching card easier. A set (or more than one set!) of these cards can be placed on a carpet/table top and learners read each word by sounding out the individual phonemes, they then match this to the picture from the same set. Phoneme ‘dots’ have been included under every grapheme so that learners know how many sounds to say as they read (sound out) the words. Resource Details… The words/pictures included use phonemes/graphemes from Phases 2 and 3 but mainly Phase 2. Phase 3 sounds included are v/w/x/y/z Words included Red (Set a) cat/crab/map/pan/mat/van/hat/bat/bag/cap Orange (Set e) peg/bell/hen/red/bed/dress/web/ten/yes/pen Yellow (Set i) fig/zip/pig/lips/pink/pip/wig/stick (may be confused with ‘twig’)/pin/bin Green (Set o) shop/rock/frog/clock/cogs/pot (also ‘hot!’) /box/socks/fox/dog Blue (Set u’) Blue (Set u) words included - bun (may be confused with ‘cake’ or ‘cupcake’ though in Yorkshire (for example) this is a ‘bun’!) duck/cup/truck/slug/sun/bug/plug/hut/mug Suggestion Print these resources onto card (and laminate) to improve durability.
