This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce all of Phase 2 sounds. Learners sound out simple words, all only using sounds within Phase 2). 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 who need to revisit these sounds. 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 check by looking at the ‘hidden’ image (folded back) to see if they read the word correctly. With the end section folded back these cards can also ‘stand up’ on a table top rather than being laid flat, inviting learners to explore them and giving the activity an interactive feel.

For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x17 sheets for all Phase 2 sounds, pdf format. What’s it for? This resource encourages learners to identify the initial sound of pictures, match these with the grapheme (letter) and place both (picture and letter) cards together onto ‘word boards’ where they can sound out the words. Phoneme dots make clear how many sounds there are in each word. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning Phase 2 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. How to use it? This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce all of Phase 2 sounds. Learners match images with the corresponding sound (grapheme), then place these on the correct ‘word board’ to sound the whole word out. Print resources onto card (rather than paper), cut following dotted lines. Resource Details Phase 2 sounds have been grouped into four sets to make it easier to focus on individual sounds as necessary. Each set can be used alone or sets can be mixed together to increase the level of challenge for learners. 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.

What’s included? This download includes x4 pdfs, portrait, in colour each featuring ten/five images that all begin with one sound - j, v, w, x, y, z. Images for ‘x’ do NOT ‘begin’ with ‘x’ ! I have researched words beginning with ‘x’ and none have a clear initial ‘x’ sound, therefore for all ‘x’ images the ‘x’ sound is at the END of these words. X is the ONLY letter where the sound is at the end. 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 letter sound as a two part mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the images which have the matching letter sound. I have grouped the letters of the alphabet together. This sheet is part of the ‘Blue Set’ and designed to be used with letters j, v, w, x, y, z. Exploring this set together gives learners the opportunity to become more familiar with these letters by looking at them more closely. Other sets in this same design are available. 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). 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. Resource Details 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. Resource layout The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120, so a large, ‘easy to read’ size. The images included for each letter are: j jigsaw (pieces) juggle/juggler /juggling jeans juice jelly judge jukebox jockey jackdaw jellybeans v violin vulture vegetables volcano violets w wolf whistle wasp wheels watch wheelbarrow wall whale (in water!) watermelon walrus x ox six fox box wax y yoghurt yolk yacht yoga yo-yo (yellow!) z zebra zero zeppelin zucchini zombie 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 x5 pdfs, portrait in colour each featuring ten images that all begin with one sound - b, d, g, p and q. 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). I have grouped the letters of the alphabet together. This sheet is part of the ‘Orange Set’ and designed to be used with letters b, d, g, p and q. I have grouped these letters of the alphabet together according to their similar ‘shape’ and as I know confusing b and d can be a common issue for learners. Exploring this set together gives learners the opportunity to become more familiar with these letters by looking at them more closely. Other sets in this same design are available. 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. This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising these letters and identifying the correct initial letter (phonics) sound for ten images (per 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. Resource layout The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120, so a large, ‘easy to read’ size. The images included for each letter are: b ball badger banana blue bike butterfly bear bread budgie, bird bluebell/s d domino dice dolphin drawer dinosaur (diplodocus) diamond desert donkey doughnut door g gloves ghost glasses goggles graph goldfish gold (not butter!) guitar goose garage p pizza piano pepper pony pencil purple pear pigeon pyramid paper q quarter queue quote/quotation queen question mark quetzal quokka quilt quail quill Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am 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 four handwriting sets for phases 2, 3, 4, and 5. All are portrait orientation, pdf sheets to practise handwriting ‘tricky words’. There are x4 sets (x7, A4 sheets) in total. What is it? This resource focuses on practising handwriting the tricky words which are part of phonics phases 2, 3, 4 and 5 and key vocabularly (reading and spelling) which are essential to know. 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 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 some sheets (Phases 2, 3 and 5) there is a space to further practise writing each of these words several times 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 - helpful to keep track of progress.

What’s included? This download includes x8 A4 pdf sheets (portrait orientation) which includes an activity sheet and answers for ALL sounds in Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets. 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 ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has kept little hands very busy and focused (for me!) I hope the same will be true for you! This has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently. Phase 3 (x5 sets) in same design is also available in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use it? Each learner needs to cut out and match two ‘phoneme pictures’ to every grapheme (printed on the left side). Dotted lines guide where to cut, though the picture-squares could be pre-cut for those who struggle with cutting out. Resource Details… I split ‘phase 2’ into four sets, one set per sheet. Not all phonemes are ‘initial’ letters (in sets 3 and 4 here) - so learners may need this pointing out before working on these independently if you want them to be kept focused. Set 1 s - scissors, snake a - apple, avocado t - torch, tractor p - panda, pear (learners should watch out not to confuse ‘needle’ with ‘pin’) i - ink, igloo n - narwhal, needle (learners should watch out not to confuse ‘needle’ with ‘pin’) Set 2 m - mouse, milk d - dog (dachshund, ‘double d’ !), dinosaur (diplodocus, also ‘double d’ !) g - glasses (green - ‘double g’ ! ), goat o - (orange) octopus (double ‘o’!), orange c - cat, clock k - key, kangaroo Set 3 ck - sock, duck (‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners) e - elephant, egg u - umbrella (upside -down ‘double u’ !), up (stairs - arrow indicates this) r - robot, rainbow h - horse, house b - balloon (blue - ‘double b’ !), bee Set 4 ck - truck, black (‘ck’ is reinforced (repeated from ‘Set 3’) instead of leaving a gap) f - frog, fish ff - giraffe, coffee l - lemon, leaf ll - bull, ball ss - grass, dress Optional Extension Adding the word labels is optional and best provided as an extension for more able/quick learners. These tiny labels can be cut out and added under each ‘phoneme picture’, though the phoneme/grapheme matching should be completed first. The word labels are not consistently sound-out-able and learners would need to use their knowledge of the phonemes/graphemes already matched during the activity and look at the initial/final letter sounds to help them.

New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! For more information visit https://alphabetlearning.online What’s included? x10 sheets (x10 picture/CVC word cards) focusing on the x5 vowels sounds. All sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format. These cards are designed to be used with a Function Machine, but can be used without. 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? Learners can use these cards to practise sounding out simple CVC/CCVC (Phase 2/3 phonics) words. Using cards with a Function Machine Learners sound out the graphemes on one side of each card to read each word then push the card into the top function machine slot (word side facing up) and can see if they are correct when the picture pops out of the slot below (picture side up!) Using cards without a Function Machine Learners sound out the graphemes on one side of each card to read each word then flip it over to see if they were correct - looking at the picture on the other side. What is needed to make these? x10 sheets of white A4 card (for the printer) decent scissors a metal ruler (for ‘scoring’) scoring tool (to help fold the card accurately) a glue stick How to use it? An adult needs to print the sheets onto card and follow the instructions (included on every sheet) to make these cards double-sided/back-to-back. All/a set/s of back-to-back cards can then be placed on a carpet/table top, for learners to use on their own/with adult support. 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… Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed up. Red (Set 1 - ‘a’) The words/pictures included use sounds from Phases 2 and 3. Only v is from Phase 3. bag bat cap cat crab hat map mat pan van Orange (Set 2 - ‘e’) The words/pictures included use sounds from Phases 2 and 3. Only sounds w and y are from Phase 3. bed bell dress hen peg pen red ten web yes Yellow (Set 3 - ‘i’) The words/pictures included use sounds from Phases 2 and 3. Only sounds w and z are from Phase 3. bin fig lips pig pin pink pip stick (not to be confused with ‘twig’ !) wig zip Green (Set 4 - ‘o’) The words/pictures included use sounds from Phases 2 and 3. Only sounds x and sh are from Phase 3. box dog clock cogs fox frog pot rock shop socks Blue (Set 5 - u) The words/pictures included only use sounds from Phases 2. bug bun cup duck hut mug plug slug sun truck Important message… Any issues please let us know - we are happy to make changes.
