What’s included?
x2 sheets (x10 picture/CVC word cards) focusing on the ‘o’ sound. Both 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.
This activity has been designed to be a simple, interactive, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals to be getting on with independently.
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?
x2 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 both sheets) to make these cards double-sided/back-to-back.
The set 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…
Green (Set 4 - ‘o’)
The words/pictures included use sounds from Phases 2 and 3. Only sounds x and sh are from Phase 3.
The words included in this set are:
box
dog
clock
cogs
fox
frog
pot
rock
shop
socks
Sets for ALL vowels (doubled sided/back-to-back) are also available. Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed up.

What’s included?
This download includes x3 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the lowercase letters c, o, a, d, g, q .
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 should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together, reinforcing the correct way of writing letters which are similar in shape.
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.
These resources have been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing letters which are visually similar. This resource set should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together, reinforcing the correct way of writing letters with similar shapes.
These letters are all written in a similar way, starting at the top and beginning by curving round to the left…
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 exactly to write.
I have grouped these letters into pairs - c/o, a/d and g/q.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the number date at the top, right of the sheet, helpful to keep completed sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time.
All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.

What’s included?
x2 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. Two resources (two downloads) included.
Who’s it for?
These resources have been designed for learners in the Early Years and Years 1 and 2.
Resource 1 is aimed at learners who have learnt phonics in Phases 2, 3 and 5 as well as older pupils who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds.
Resource 2 is aimed at learners needing to practise ordering words alphabetically.
What’s it for?
Resource 1 enables learners to use their phonic knowledge (from phonics phases 2, 3 and 5) to write each colour word included. Resource 2 provides x12 colour words to order alphabetically - with an alphabet visual support provided to support learners (as needed).
Both resources have been designed to promote autonomy - clear answers are included for learners to then check themselves after having a try. However - although answers are provided the design enables these to be folded out of sight while learners complete each activity.
How to use it?
In combining these two resources together learners can complete Resource 1 first (sounding out and writing colour words) before moving onto Resource 2 (ordering colour-words alphabetically).
Resource 1
Each colour (balloon) has the correct number of lines underneath for learners to sound out each colour word and write the graphemes (on these lines).
Resource 2
Once learners have completed writing the x8 colour-names (resource 1) in resource 2 each colour word is displayed under each of the x12 coloured balloons at the top of the sheet. These balloons are to be cut out (following the dotted lines) and the colour-words ordered alphabetically on the grid-row positioned in the centre of the sheet.
Resource Details…
Resource 1
The colour of each tick (above each balloon) indicates which phonics phase the sounds for that word are from making this ideal to target specific phonics areas and encouraging learners to practise their knowledge in this (colour word) context.
Resource 2
Learners will each need a pencil to write their name and record the number date (top, right). They will also need access to a pair of scissors and a glue stick.
For those learners needing additional support the colour words can be cross referenced with the alphabet included (at the top of the sheet) to help learners order these alphabetically.
For more able learners/those needing a more of a challenge this supporting alphabet-reference can be folded back (out of sight) for learners to instead use their memory/recall their knowledge of the alphabet - to be used as appropriate depending on the needs of each learner.

What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one ‘Easter’ 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.
Who’s it for?
This word search has been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support. Nouns are illustrated to make the meaning of these words clear to learners - this would also benefit pupils with EAL.
Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x12 by x12 square grid and featuring easy to read ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.
The Easter words have been organised into four groups, clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x24 words to find in total.
These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (backwards-down and backwards-up). Words to find are; church, easter, cross, hot cross buns, lent, bunny, chick, lamb, new life, rabbit, spring, basket, bonnet, collect, find, hide, hunt, seek, chocolate, decorate, eggs, patterns, daffodils, and tulips.
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. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.

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.

What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one ‘December’ 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.
Who’s it for?
This word search has 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 x14 by x13 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.
The Winter words have been organised into four groups of six (one group of five), clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x22 words to find in total.
These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards - up and down). Words to find are; advent, cards, carols, decorations, gifts, blue topaz, capricorn, holly, narcissus, sagittarius, turquoise, boxing day, christmas, elves, festive, reindeer, santa claus, give, kindness, merry, mistletoe and poinsettia.
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. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.

What’s included?
This download includes one ‘months of the year’ word search in colour AND black and white. There are x4 pages in total, all portrait orientation in pdf format.
The x12 months and x4 seasons of the year are hidden in a x10 by x10 square grid, with the hidden words clearly listed in four (seasonal) groups underneath.
The answers (on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference.
Who’s it for?
This word search has been carefully designed to encourage young readers in the early years and pupils in years one and two (as well as students needing additional learning support) with reading key words.
Knowing these time-related words (the months of the year and seasons) both reading them on-sight and learning the correct spellings will benefit both reading and writing.
Resource layout
Page 1
The words for the twelve months have been organised into groups of four according to which season they are part of. The box for each season has been colour coded (in the colour version) to make this clearer, the ‘season word’ for each group is also hidden within the word search. There are x16 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards). Words to find are; Winter, December, January, February, Spring, March, April, May, Summer, June, July, August, Autumn, September, October and November (all are hidden as lower case letters).
Page 2
The layout is exactly the same design as page 1 making cross referencing the answers quick and easy and encouraging learners to be autonomous. The position of the hidden words is made clear by the colour coded lines as well as a small arrow to the left of each word which identifies the direction of the hidden word.
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.
