This download includes x16 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting all lowercase letters. Letters have been grouped according to how they are written, there are x6 sets included in total. What’s it for? These resources have been designed to practise handwriting letters according to their letter shapes as there can be a sense of confusion for some learners when writing letters which are visually similar. This resource set provides some focused additional support looking at these similar letters together, reinforcing the correct way of writing each set. 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 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 to write. Letters are grouped into these sets and colour-coded to avoid confusion once printed out - b d g p q (letters paired - b/d, g/p and g/q) c o a d g q (letters paired - c/o, a/d and g/q) l t i j (letters paired - l/t and i/j) r n m h k (letters paired - r/n, n/m and h/k) u y v w (letters paired - u/y and v/w) s f x z e (letters paired - 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 and a clear space to record the number-date at the top, right. All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.

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.

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 landscape orientation, pdf format sheets, to sound out/read number names from one to twenty. What’s it for? These resources look more closely at number names from one to twenty. Learners can sound out number name words and become more familiar with seeing/reading them on sight. Learners also match the number name words with the corresponding numerals. This is a simple, predictable activity designed to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently, during ‘busy/quiet times’ or those learners needing some individual 1:1 support. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children/pupils in Year 1 who are learning phonics sounds and these number name words for the first time, pupils in Year 2 who need some practise to read and spell these words. This activity is also suitable for older learners who need to recognise, read and spell number names from one to twenty. How to use it? Learners follow dotted lines to cut out words at the base of the sheet and sound out graphemes to read the number name words. Learners then match number name words with the numerals - positioning the words in the boxes underneath the numerals. Secure words with glue once matched correctly. Tip! To avoid words getting lost encourage learners to only cut out one word at a time. Resource Details Number names from one to twenty have been split into two groups - one set can be sounded out, the other words are tricky. Set One This set includes x15 number names which can be sounded out. Set Two This set includes a repeat of x5 number names which can be sounded out (from phases 5) as well as x5 ‘tricky’ number names which can’t be sounded out. All words included have a matching image (of the numeral and correct number of objects). KEY Words have been organised depending on which phonics phase they fit in with. A colour coded system is made clear by the ‘key’ at the top, right side of both resource sheets. pink indicates that the words are from phase 2 purple indicates that the words are from phase 3 turquoise indicates that the words are from phase 5 grey indicates that the words are from phase 6+ underlined indicates that together underlined letters have one sound, for example ‘th’, ‘ir’ and ‘ee’ in ‘thirteen’ red letters indicate the tricky letters, for example the ‘o’ and ‘e’ in ‘one’ are both tricky (therefore both are red) Red letters include ‘irregular’ letters/sounds. For example the second ‘e’ in ‘seven’ is red as this may be pronounced ‘u’. Important Message Any issues please let us know - we are happy to make changes.

This download includes x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to look at/read ‘tricky’ words (nouns) from the first 200 high frequency word list. This set of words has been grouped as words that are ‘tricky’. What’s it for? This activity has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 200 high frequency words and practise reading these words on sight by looking more closely at them. Learners can focus on the black letters (red letters indicate where the words are tricky) and use their phonics knowledge (as well as the images provided) to ‘work out’ these words (all nouns). This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently, during ‘busy/quiet times’ or those needing some individual 1:1 support. 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 is also suitable for older learners with additional learning needs. How to use it? Learners cut out words (following dotted lines) at the base of the sheet, sound out the graphemes to read the word, then match the word with the image - placing word cards in the boxes underneath the images. Word cards are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched the words with the images. Tip! To avoid words getting lost/in a muddle, encourage learners to only cut out one word at a time, read and match it to the picture and once it has been secured to the sheet with glue, move on to cutting out the next word. Resource Details… These words are all from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. It is possible to ‘sound out’ these words. Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘ey’ in ‘money’. Tricky / ‘irregular’ letters are identified in red, such as ‘a’ in ‘ball’. Important Message Any issues please let us know - we are happy to make changes.

What’s included? This download includes one simple, predictable alphabet rhyme for the letter ‘h’ - in colour AND black and white (so x2 sheets in total). This rhyme has been set out landscape orientation - the complete ‘alphabet set’ is available in my TES shop! What’s it for? This rhyme is part of an alphabet set (of the same layout) and has been designed for learners to practise reading simple words (images make noun-words clear) and each rhyme practises one phonic sound - this rhyme focuses on ‘h’. How to use it? Using a pointer (or pointy finger!) learners point to each word/sound as they say/sing it out loud, some rhymes are more ‘silly’ than others(!) In this rhyme the horses wear the hats! This is a unique, fun and engaging way to practise reading and phonics that all learners will enjoy. These rhymes also provide a great opportunity to practise using one to one correspondence - an important early reading skill. 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, revisiting any/all of these sounds and practising reading using one to one correspondence. Resource Details The layout of every letter/sound rhyme is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent. The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 50, so a good, ‘easy to read’ size. This rhyme is - Hats on horses h, h, h. Hats on horses h, h, h. Hats on horses h, h, h. Hats on horses! Suggestions Learners might like to practise reading these on their own, in pairs or small groups or even as a class during a whole carpet session, reading/singing along together. I recommend printing out the colour versions of these (the colours look so lovely!) and laminating each rhyme to help keep them in good condition. You may wish to introduce these rhymes alongside learning these sounds for the first time and have a set (e.g. of x6) of every rhyme printed out and laminated for groups to use as an extension/quiet activity. Or, these rhymes may be good to introduce later to recap on some sounds which may be proving to be more tricky to remember. My classes of early years and year one children were really motivated to use these and very good at practising them quietly to themselves using ‘whispery voices’ (so cute!) I found that all learners really enjoyed using these with a ‘pointer’ which I had a pot of (pointers!) stored with the rhymes, ready to use. Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes AND I am happy to create a different version if you have an idea just let me know - I’d love to hear from you! Feedback of this resource would be wonderful! Thank you!
