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.

What’s it for?
This phonics activity enables learners to sound out graphemes to read simple simple words (all contain the ‘a/e/i/o or u’ sound) to match with the corresponding picture. This set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently.
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.
How to use it?
An adult needs to print and pre-cut the cards into rectangles (dotted guide lines make where to cut clear). Each set (a/e/i/o/u) is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed and to help finding a relevant matching card easier.
A set (or more than one set!) of these cards can be placed on a carpet/table top and learners read each word by sounding out the individual phonemes, they then match this to the picture from the same set. 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…
The words/pictures included use phonemes/graphemes from Phases 2 and 3 but mainly Phase 2. Phase 3 sounds included are v/w/x/y/z

What’s included?
This download includes x9 pdf pages, each featuring x10 robots (x3 black and white versions, x3 black and white with rainbow coloured dots versions and x3 rainbow (coloured) versions). All are in portrait orientation.
What’s it for?
These resources can be used to introduce learners to doubles and/or consolidate learners knowledge of doubles to 10.
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.
Resource details
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten robots with ten recap questions at the end. Each robot’s chest clearly shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order/random order up to 10. Learners complete the other half (of each double) by drawing ‘dots’ e.g. with a thick felt pen onto the space on the right side of each robot’s chest. Learners then write the total number of dots on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’
The robots and questions are both in order and random order - you choose which to use depending on what best suits the needs of your learner/s.
The x10 recap questions at the end enable learners to consolidate their ‘doubles knowledge’. In two of the colour version sheets the ‘outline colour’ of each ‘question box’ matches the robot colour - providing a visual link for the learner to check back to each corresponding robot, if needed, before committing to writing answers in the question boxes at the end.
There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space to record the number date (top, right).

Resource details
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each page clearly features ten butterflies. Each butterfly’s left wing shows one part of each double (in ‘dots’) in order up to 20. Learners can complete the other half of each double by drawing the same number of ‘dots’ e.g. with a felt tip pen onto the space on the right wing. The total number of dots can then be written on the line underneath to complete the sentence e.g. ‘Double 1 is 2.’
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 20.
