Handwriting Phase 3 Phonics zz qu ng ch sh th (Set 6)

(0)
What’s included? This download includes eight A4, pdf sheets (portrait) to practise handwriting x6 graphemes. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to enable learners to practise handwriting the second set for phase 3 phonics sounds - zz qu ng ch sh th. This is the sixth set in the ‘phonics handwriting set’ - which begins with phase 2 sounds. Learners are guided where to write with a starting dot and grey letter shape to follow. The four different sheets for each set vary in level of support and challenge provided making it easy for adults to select just the right level to match each learners ability. Learners could begin at sheet 1 and revisit these letters working through sheets 2 - 4 which incrementally provide less support yet more challenge each time. 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 Set 6 This set includes handwriting practise for x6 sounds - zz qu ng ch sh th. This set has been split into two, 6a and 6b. Set 6a includes x4 sheets to practise writing the sounds zz qu ng. Set 6b includes x4 sheets to practise writing the sounds ch sh th. There are four sheets included (for both sets), 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. The different designs makes it easier to select the level that best suits your learner/s. Page 1 Learners have one set (row) of each letter/sound to write - using the starting dot and dotted lines (on top of each pale grey letter shape) as a guide. Page 2 Learners have four sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes the same (grey) letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot and without the dotted line guides. Page 3 Learners have four sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes some grey letter shapes for learners to trace over with a starting dot. There is also a blank space (with a starting dot) for learners to write their own letters after this for every letter. Page 4 Learners have four sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line is a blank line for learners to write each support without any scaffolding 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 three A4, portrait pdf sheet to practise reading and writing CVC words within Phase 2. 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. Resource Details The layout includes x2 wheels, one for the ‘front’ (wheel 1) and one for the back - with the x2 sets of vowels on (wheel 2). Once assembled (according to instructions included on the pdf) the CVC Phonics Wheel can be turned to reveal one vowel in the centre of the two consonants displayed/written on the front of the wheel. The wheel can be turned clockwise or anticlockwise, the direction doesn’t matter. Some words will be ‘real’ e.g. den//hen/men/pen and some words will not be real/will be ‘nonsense’ words e.g. len/ren - these can be written on page 3 - there is space for x10 real and x10 nonsense words to be written here and a clear space for learners to write their name (at the base of the sheet). Suggestion For older, more able learners this activity could be linked to looking up new words in the dictionary to find out if they are/are not real words and if they are ‘real’ words e.g. ‘fen’ find out what their meanings are (Fen is used to refer to an area of low, flat, wet land, especially in the east of England). Important message… ANY issues with any of this CVC phonics wheel please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes as needed. Feedback of this resource would be great - thank you!

Alphabet matching lower/uppercase letters - Feed rabbit carrots

(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 x4 A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise matching upper and lowercase alphabet letters using an alphabet strip (showing capital letters) and carrots (for lowercase letters). Two pages include instructions on how to make a rabbit face into a ‘posting box’ with clear photos supporting each step. An empty tissue box is needed to make this resource. Dotted guide lines show where to cut. There are also two ‘slits’ which need making and a hole to be cut (inside the rabbits mouth) - these may be best made using a craft knife (used well away from little people!) This resource is designed for an adult to make ‘for’ learners to use. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to practise recognising and matching upper and lowercase alphabet letters and to become more familiar with the ‘alphabetical order’ of all alphabet letters. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed to be used by early years children and pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details The photo shows how this resource looks which complete. The idea is that learners move the capital letter alphabet strip left/right to show a different capital letter. They then ‘post’ the matching lowercase alphabet letter (carrot!) into the rabbit’s mouth. This is an ideal activity to keep learners busy and independent. I have included two versions of the letter ‘k’ as some learners may be more used to the look of one style than the other. There is also a ‘blank’ carrot included in case one gets lost.

Reading High Frequency words - Nouns (x4 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 resource sets. In total this is x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. These resources are to read/sound out high frequency words (nouns). This set of words has been grouped as words that can be sounded out from phonics Phases 2, 3, 5 and 6+ and a tricky word set. What’s it for? These x4 resource sets are a selection of the first 200 high frequency words to look more closely at nouns. Learners can sound out nouns and become more familiar with seeing/reading them on sight. Learners also match the nouns with the corresponding pictures. All words have been sorted into colour groups depending on which phonics phase they fit in with so words can be introduced at the right time for your learners. 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 ideal for pupils with EAL (English as an Additional Language) and suitable for older learners with additional learning needs. 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 nouns. Learners then match noun words with the pictures - positioning the words in the boxes underneath the pictures. Words are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched each noun and picture correctly. Top tip! To avoid words getting lost encourage learners to only cut out one word at a time. Once learners have secured each word to the sheet (with glue!) they can move on to cutting out the next word. Resource Details… These words are from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. KEY Words have been organised depending on which phonics phase they fit in with. This colour coded system is made clear by the ‘key’ at the top, right side of each resource sheet. 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 ‘ow’ in ‘town’ red letters indicate the tricky letters. Red/tricky letters includes ‘irregular’ letters/sounds. For the tricky word set learners should focus on the black letters in the words as these will help them decode and work out what the word might be.

Handwriting ALL lowercase alphabet letters (grouped by letter formation)

(0)
What’s included? This download includes x6 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting all lowercase letters. Letters have been grouped according to how they are written - by similar shape and orientation. There are x5 sets included in total. 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. What’s it for? These unique resources have been designed to really focus in on the detail - making how to write each letter as clear as possible to learners. This resource has been designed to encourage autonomy and so self confidence while making the process as clear as possible for learners to follow once they understand the colour order to follow (shown at the top of every sheet as a reference) and the meaning of each coloured ‘dot’ (also clearly displayed at the top of every sheet). How to use it? Learners are clearly guided on exactly where to place their pencil to begin writing each letter (identified by a green dot). Changes in direction (requiring a momentary pause) are indicated with an orange dot (as with an amber traffic light - indicating waiting and thinking). Where to stop (and remove the pencil from the paper) is indicated with a red ‘stop’ dot. Learners are also visually guided by a uniform colour system showing the direction to follow which is further reinforced by directional chevron shaped arrows. Resource details The font used is Sassoon Infant Std. 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 coloured chevron lines providing guidance of exactly where (which direction) to write. Letters are grouped into these sets. Set numbers are included on every sheet. c o a d g q (Set 1, x1 page) r n m h b p k (Set 2, x2 pages) l i j t (Set 3, x1 page) u y v w (Set 4, x1 page) s f x z e (Set 5, x1 page) Learners can write their name on the line provided at the base of the sheet and record the longer word-date (top, right). All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line. 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 x5 landscape orientation sheets featuring every alphabet letter (uppercase) and clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate letters for (window) display. What’s it for? These letters have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the letters look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the coloured letter shape ‘falls’ depends on the position of the letters in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole alphabet together to encourage learners to recognise and name each letter (and sound) and practise the order of the alphabet. The letters can of course be repositioned to create words and labels as you choose. The lowercase version of this resource is also available. This resource would support work on shadows, light/dark and better understanding the shape of uppercase letters to support greater recognition. 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 letters/words when the sun comes out! Resource Details There are x5 pages. The first includes instructions and the remaining pages include all of the alphabet letters. Suggestions Printing and making these letters out of white card is recommended - paper is 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 letter 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 it is twice the work and time.

Alphabet Matching Set (Square cards)

(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 nine A4, portrait pdf sheets which make a number matching set featuring x54 cards which includes all letters of the alphabet with an image to match. 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 is to practise identifying the initial sounds for x26 images and matching these to the written letter/sound (grapheme). Both upper and lowercase letters are including - helping to reinforce both. How to use this resource This matching activity has been designed to be an 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 a ring. Learners look at each picture card and (if they are able) say what it is. Learners then say the initial sound for each picture and match the ‘picture’ card to the alphabet ‘letter’ card which shows the same initial sound. Once the set is matched into pairs (picture and letter cards together) learners can then order the card pairs from the beginning to the end of the alphabet or in reverse which can be much trickier! Pictures included are apple, banana, car, dog (Dachshund!), egg, frog, grass, house, ink, jam, key, lemon, milk, nine numbers, orange, pink pig, quarter, robot, sun, tree, upside-down umbrella, van, wall (not to be confused with ‘bricks’ !) xylophone, yellow yoyo, zebra. This alphabet matching set could be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to cross-check the correct orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. Games This ‘Alphabet Match’ set could also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during 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 picture cards or all the letter cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Suggestion Brightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small amount 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.

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. Resource Details All words on the ‘picture puzzles’ only use the sounds ‘s a t p i n’. Phase 2, set 2 (sounds m d g o c k) is also available (in same design) in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use it? Picture/word puzzles Pages 1 and 2 An adult cuts out the x9 puzzle shapes following dotted lines. The segments of all x9 ‘picture/word puzzles’ can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to match. Once the segments of each picture/word puzzle are completed each of the x9 words can be read. The completed ‘picture puzzles’ can be used as a reference to complete the missing words for x9 sentences (pages 3-5). Writing words/reading sentences Pages 3-6 There are two versions of the same x9 sentences to complete, each has a missing word with a clear space for each of the missing letters (graphemes) to be written. A larger format version of the sentences set out individually (pages 3 and 4) which can be cut up (perhaps laminated) and written on (if laminated - with a dry wipe/wipe clean pen). The smaller scale version (page 5) has the same x9 sentences but all on one page for learners to complete with a pencil, as a ‘worksheet’. Answers are included on page 6 in the same format which learners can use for quick, easy reference. *Resource Details… Pages 3-6 The sentences include high frequency words ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘this’, ‘is’, you’, ’we’, ‘can’. The sentences included are ‘A crocodile can _ _ _ _’. (snap) ‘We wear _ _ _ _ _ ‘. (pants) ‘wear’ (not common) ‘Scissors can _ _ _ _ ‘. (snip) ‘The cat is _ _ _ ‘. (sat) ‘You can _ _ _ _ ‘ a globe.

Phase 2 Letter/picture match cards and Reading words (with answers) Whole Set

(0)
New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! 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. IF learners know this 2D shape). The ‘a’ in this word may be pronounced in different ways 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 (‘end’ sound so may catch out some learners) e egg (double ‘g’ may be an issue though the ‘g’ letters together only have one ‘g’ sound) u up (escalator - as arrow indicates) 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 out some learners) ss grass (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners) Answer cards included Important message… ANY issues please let us know.

Alphabet match - j v w x y z (Blue set)

Alphabet match - j v w x y z (Blue set)

(0)
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.
