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…
Phase 2 has been split 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 to help keep them 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 an optional extension for more advanced learners. These labels can be cut out and placed under each phoneme picture after the initial matching activity. Learners will need to use the phonemes they’ve already matched, as well as the initial and final letter sounds, to help them.
