Sounds Write Phonics Initial Code - 10 Roll-Read-Colour Games

If you’re using the ‘Sounds-Write’ phonics programme (like me) then you know its tricky to get games which follow the order of the phonemes taught. Well not anymore!

This game pack is fantastic for consolidating phonic knowledge and strengthening blending skills. It can be played by by one or two students independently; or it can be used for group work. Not only does it really work, but you need a teeny amount of prep, just print the game boards and go! My school have adopted these games for the whole of KS1, with the best results we’ve ever had on this year’s phonics screening test.

I have included games for all of the 11 units in the ‘initial code’.

Each game includes a colour version and a black and white version for your printing preferences. Units with new phonemes include a game version with the new (focus) phoneme highlighted ( I find this useful for students who struggle with fluency), and a none highlighted version, for more fluent readers.
