What’s included? x10 sheets (activity sheets with answers) for Phase 3 split into x5 activity sets. Portrait orientation, pdf format. 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 ‘phase 3’ phonics practise activity set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently. Phase 2 (x4 sets) in same design is also available in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use it? Each learner needs to cut out x12 ‘phoneme pictures’ and match x2 of these ‘phoneme pictures’ to every grapheme (printed on the left of each sheet). Dotted lines guide where to cut, though picture-squares could be pre-cut for those who struggle with cutting out. Resource Details… Phase 3 has been split into five sets, one set per sheet. This set includes initial, middle and final sounds - learners may need this pointing out before working on these independently if you want them to be kept focused. Set 1 j - jeans, jigsaw (piece) v - volcano, van w - wall, window x - box, fox (learners may need help with identifying that the ‘x’ sound is at the end of these two words) y - yes, yellow z - zip, zebra Set 2 (‘zz’ is in the middle/end of words here and ‘ng’ is at the end) zz - pizza, fizz qu - queen, quarter ch - chocolate, cheese sh - shoe, shorts th - thumb, three ng - ring, wing Set 3 (two different ‘oo’ sounds here may confuse some learners) ai - train, rain ee - sheep, bee igh - night, light (bright also!) oa - goat, road oo - book, foot oo - moon, spoon Set 4 ar - star, shark or - fork, corn ur - burger, purse ow - cow, owl oi - oil, coin ear - beard, ear Set 5 (three sounds ‘ow’, ‘or’ and ‘ar’ are repeated from set 4 (using different phoneme pictures) to avoid leaving gaps and provide an opportunity to reinforce these sounds) air - airport, chair ure - picture, treasure er - ladder, finger (s) ow - brown, clown or - anchor, fort ar - guitar, car Optional Extension Adding the word labels is optional and best provided as an extension for more able/quick learners. These tiny labels can be cut out and added under each ‘phoneme picture’, though the phoneme/grapheme matching should be completed first. The word labels are not consistently sound-out-able and learners would need to use their knowledge of the phonemes/graphemes already matched during the activity and look at the initial/final letter sounds to help them. 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!

What’s included? This download includes x8 A4 pdf sheets (portrait orientation) which includes an activity sheet and answers for ALL sounds in Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets. 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 ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has kept little hands very busy and focused (for me!) I hope the same will be true for you! This has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently. Phase 3 (x5 sets) in same design is also available in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use it? 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… I split ‘phase 2’ 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 if you want them to be kept 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 (NOT ‘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 optional and best provided as an extension for more able/quick learners. These tiny labels can be cut out and added under each ‘phoneme picture’, though the phoneme/grapheme matching should be completed first. The word labels are not consistently sound-out-able and learners would need to use their knowledge of the phonemes/graphemes already matched during the activity and look at the initial/final letter sounds to help them.

What’s included? This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting two lowercase letters b and d. What’s it for? These resources have been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing the letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ which are visually very similar. This resource should help in providing some focused additional support looking at b and d together. 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 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. This resource focuses on the letter b for the first x4 lines then letter d for the next x4 lines. The last line focuses on both letters - b then d. Each line has been designed to become slightly more challenging in terms of the visual support provided. 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. Lines 1 and 5 These letters are shaded a with pale grey and have an outline to help guide learners writing inside the line. The first b/d on line 1/5 begins with a clear colour-coded letter showing exactly where to begin - on the green ‘go dot’ (step 1) . Learners follow the colour coded numbered dots to the final red ‘stop dot’. Lines 2 and 6 These letters are the same as on lines 1/5, however the letters do not have the ‘outline’ guiding learners to keep ‘inside’ of the lines. Lines 3 and 7 These letters do not have an outline or grey base colour, only a starting dot and grey dotted lines. Lines 4 and 8 These letters have a grey base colour and a starting dot but do not include guiding dotted lines. Learners will need to remember the directions to form these letters by themselves. Line 9 This is a repeat of the style of the letters as previously introduced (as arranged vertically) to encourage learners to become more independent as the move right along the line when in writing these letters. Learners will also need to switch from writing b’s to d’s in the middle of line 9. Important message… ANY issues with this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? What is it?! This download includes two A4, pdf sheet (portrait) to practise handwriting Phase 3 ‘tricky words’ - be, he, she, me, we, my, you, her, here, are, they, all, was. 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 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. The words have each been repeated three times (in three columns) left to right. There are clear, visual, instructions at the top of each sheet, in three parts (left to right). In the centre (at the top) the colour order to follow is clearly illustrated, guiding learners to begin with dark green, follow light green, pale yellow, mid yellow, orange and then red to ‘stop’. Not all letters have enough steps to follow through using all of these colours. This resource has been designed for learners to write one word at a time, gradually reducing the level of support provided (left to right). E.g. learners begin with the word on the left (in the first column) and once they have written this they move onto the same word, to the right (in the centre/column two). Lastly learners write the same word a third time on the right (column three). The first word (column one) has a green (‘go’) starting dot, coloured arrows around the outside of each letter to show the direction to move the pencil from the beginning to the end red (‘stop’) dot. The second word (column two) also includes a green starting (‘go’) dot and red (‘stop’) dot as well as one arrow per letter making clear the initial direction the pencil should move in. The third word (column three) includes a dark grey starting dot and light grey stop dot for each letter. Learners will need to use the knowledge they have learnt from writing each word twice before to complete writing ‘word three’ more independently. At the base of the sheet there is also a space to further practise writing each of these words twice and smaller (each positioned on a line). The words at the base of the sheet only have a grey starting dot to help learners. There is a clear space at the lowest edge of both sheets for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheets (right side) a space for the number date - helpful to keep track of progress if learners revisit this activity if needed. The font used in the coloured boxes is Sassoon Infant Std - size 65. The words at the base of the sheet are the same font but smaller - size 40. Page numbers are clearly included at the base of each sheet (right side). Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What is it? ‘This belongs to…’ labels set x10 portrait orientation pdfs each containing x12 individual name labels for books/pegs/trays, each label featuring the words ‘This belongs to ___________’ New school year, new term or a refresh these themed name labels should brighten up those school books and help organise those cloakrooms! What/Who is it for? These labels have been designed with an eye catching image to help young learners recognise their items when they are maybe not yet familiar with recognising their name. Learners could choose their image at the start of the school year/term and this image/label design could be used consistently on their books/personal tray/storage cubby/coat peg. These labels could also be ideal for older learners (with a particular interest) who would benefit from the additional visual aid to support their educational needs. Or! They can be used as you choose… Resource details There are x5 themed sets, x12 unique images/labels per sheet all available with black borders OR coloured. Each label includes the words 'This belongs to’ with a horizontal line to write/stick each child’s name on. Font is Sassoon Infant Std, size 20. Label size Each label is approximately W 9cm/10cm x H 4.5cm/5cm (depending on size of a white border kept when cut out). Sets include food (fruit and treats) transport nature (my favourite!) everyday objects animals All sets are available with black/coloured borders. Additional Note If there is a particular interest/topic missing here that you would benefit from please get in touch and I’ll happily create this for you in the same style.

What’s included? This download includes x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to look at/read ‘tricky’ words (nouns) from the first 200 high frequency word list. What’s it for? This activity has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 200 high frequency words and practise reading these words on sight by looking more closely at them. Learners can focus on the black letters (red letters indicate where the words are tricky) and use their phonics knowledge (and the images provided) to ‘work out’ these words (all nouns). This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently, during ‘busy/quiet times’ or those needing some individual 1:1 support. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children/pupils in Year 1 who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in Year 2 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is also suitable for older learners who need to revisit these tricky words/spelling as well as pupils with additional learning needs. How to use it? Learners cut out words along dotted lines provided and (ideally to avoid getting words in a muddle!) look at one word at a time to become familiar with it. Learners can focus on the black letters to attempt (in part) to sound each word out. Learners then match the word with the image - placing each word card on/in the box underneath the images. Word cards are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched the words with the images. Resource Details… These words are all from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. This resource has been designed to make the ‘tricky’ part of these words clear to learners. By focusing on the letters which are not tricky learners may be able to use those sounds and other reading knowledge (the shape of the words, matching to the picture cues) to work the words out. Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘ey’ in ‘money’. Tricky / ‘irregular’ letters are identified in red, such as ‘a’ in ‘ball’. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you!

What’s included? This download includes x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to read/sound out words (nouns) in Phases 3, 5 and 6+ What’s it for?

Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘ow’ in ‘town’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side). Any ‘tricky’/‘irregular’ letters are identified in red, such as ‘e’ in ‘garden’ which tends to be pronounced as an ‘u’. To fit in with other resources available in my TES shop - the colour indicates which phonics phase these words fit in with. Purple indicates that the words are from 'phase 3’, turquoise indicates that the words are from 'phase 5’ and grey indicates that the words are from phase 6+. The ‘title’ (top, left) can be used as a visual reference to keep this colour coded system clear. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you!

Learners then match the word with the image - placing each word card on/in the box underneath the images. Word cards are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched the words with the images. Resource Details… These words are all from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. It is possible to ‘sound out’ these words. Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘oa’ in ‘boat’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side). To fit in with other resources available in my TES shop - the colour indicates which phonics phase these words fit in with. Purple indicates that the words are from 'phase 3’. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you!

What’s included? This download includes x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to read/sound out phase 2 words (all nouns). What’s it for? This activity has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 200 high frequency words and practise reading these words by sounding them out. 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. This set of words is ‘nouns’ - all words fit in with phonics Phase 2. This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently, during ‘busy/quiet times’ or those needing some individual 1:1 support. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is also suitable for older learners with additional learning needs. How to use it? Learners cut out words along dotted lines provided and (ideally to avoid getting words in a muddle!) look at one word at a time to ‘sound it out’. Learners then match the word with the image - placing each word card on/in the box underneath the images.

Resource Details… These words are all from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. It is possible to ‘sound out’ these words. Any ‘tricky’/‘irregular’ letters are identified in red, such as two ‘g’ letters in the word ‘egg’. Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘ck’ in ‘duck’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side). To fit in with other resources available in my TES shop - the colour indicates which phonics phase these words fit in with. Pink indicates that the words are from 'phase 2’.

What’s included? x5 pages, landscape orientation in colour to investigate the concepts ‘BIG’ and ‘small’. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years aged children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Page 1 is a visual reference sheet which could be used for display purposes but has been designed to be used as a point of discussion about what ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ means… As a teacher/adult led discussion learners could explore what the concepts ‘big ‘ and ‘small’ mean. There are x9 pairs of images displayed on page 1, each showing items that are (when compared to each other in the ‘real world’) ‘big’ or ‘small’. Learners could first work together to identify what the big and small item is in each pair. The images shown for comparison and discussion are: the world (big) with a space rocket (small) a table (big) with a cup (small) a factory (big) with a bike (small) a tower block (big) with a person/woman (small) a flower (big) with a bee (small) a plate (big) with a pea (small) a tree (big) with a bird (small) an elephant (big) with a mouse (small) mountains (big) with a person hiking (small) Once the big/small item in each pair has been identified learners could go on to consider mixing up the items in the pictured pairs - e.g. if the ‘elephant’ was compared with the ‘world’ instead of the ‘mouse’ which would be big and which would be small? The images on pages 2 and 3 could be used as a matching activity for learners to think about and explore this further. Pages 2 and 3 are for learners to use to record three sets of pairs of items that are (when compared with each other in the real world) BIG or small. The BIG item in each pair is the be positioned on the right and the small item in each pair is to be positioned on the left. There are three spaces (for three pairs) on page 2 and page 3, learners could complete two pages (2 and 3!) Pages 4 and 5 display the images from page 1 ready to be cut up (dotted lines guide where to cut) and placed in pairs on pages 2 and 3 (or page 6). Learners could pair up the images as featured on page 1 (see this list of big/small pairs above) OR learners could pair the images differently. However the learners pair up the images the idea is to pair one BIG and one small item when thinking about the size of these items in the ‘real world’ and not the size of the image as pictured on these sheets. This may confuse some learners and they will really need to think about these items/images carefully where pairing a big and small image together before securing them with glue on pages 2/3/6. Page 6 provides an opportunity for learners to draw and label their own (real world) BIG and small images.

What is it? This download includes x3 sheets (portrait orientation) featuring x27 left-hand/finger ‘pointers’ in rainbow/skin tone colours both as solid colours and outline only. What’s it for? These are for learners to hold and use to ‘point’ to their learning - ideal to use alongside my ‘ants on apples’ set of rhymes (available in my TES shop!) How to make it? Print onto white card, follow dotted lines to cut out each hand/pointer shape, attach a wooden lolly stick to the back with sticky tape and they’re ready to use! I kept my set in a little pot in the reading area for learners to help themselves to or you may wish for learners to have their own, maybe in their favourite colour… 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. If you use a ‘pointer’ you can guarantee they would like to use one too! Special request ANY issues with any of these please don’t hesitate to let me know. I am happy to make any changes AND I am happy to create a new resource if you have an idea just let me know - I’d love to hear from you! Feedback of this resource would be wonderful! Thank you!
