New Christmas Alphabet Resources **just added!**
Clear, colourful and engaging educational resources. Breaking learning down to the nub, making concepts as easy as abc...
We'd love to know what you think of what you download, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any suggestions or requests...
What’s included?
x2 sheets (x10 picture/CVC word cards) focusing on the ‘e’ sound. Both sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format. Also included are instructions of how to make a ‘Function Machine’ and what is needed to make one.
These cards are designed to be used with a Function Machine, however you may have another use in mind…
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?
As said, these CVC cards have been designed to be printed double-sided on card to use with the ‘Function Machine’ (~instructions of how to make one of these included) to practise sounding out simple CVC (Phase 2 phonics) words - learners read each word then push the card into the top function machine slot and can see if they are correct when the picture pops out of the slot below.
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.
How to use it?
An adult needs to print these card (double-sided) onto card and and pre-cut the cards into x10 separate rectangle cards.
The set of cards can then be placed on a table top, positioned with a ‘Function Machine’ for learners to use on their own or perhaps with adult support (initially). Learners read each word by sounding out the individual phonemes, they then push the card into the top slot of the function machine and find out if they are correct when the picture pops out of the lower slot…
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.
The words included in this set are -
Yellow (Set** i**)
fig, bin, zip, pig, lips, pink, pip, wig, stick (not to be confused with ‘twig’ !), pin.
Sets for ALL vowels (doubled sided or as separate cards to read and match) are also available in my TES shop. Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed up.

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?
These Christmas Alphabet cards have been designed to be printed double-sided on card to use with the ‘Function Machine’ (instructions of how to make one of these included) to practise identifying the initial sound of x26 images - all Christmas themed. Providing learners with a fun opportunity to practise their sound knowledge linked to Christmas.
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.
How to use it?
An adult needs to print these card (double-sided) onto card and and pre-cut the cards into x26 separate rectangle cards (x27 if using both versions of the ‘k’/’king’ cards)
The set of cards can then be placed on a table top, positioned with a ‘Function Machine’ for learners to use on their own or perhaps with adult support (initially). Cards may be ordered a - z or given to learners mixed up and learners could order these themselves.
Learners look at each image and say this out loud. They then identify (verbally) the initial sound of this word e.g. for the first letter of the alphabet the learner would say “Advent Calendar” and then “a” (for ‘Advent’). Learners then post the card (image side up) and when it pops out of the lower slot they can see if they were correct…
Resource Details…
The pictures included use words with clear initial sounds. Some images/words may be completely new to learners - an opportunity to expand their ‘Christmas vocabulary’. For clarity all images are labelled on the back of every card, e.g. ‘quince’ may easily be presumed to be a ‘pear’.

c - cracker
d - dove
e - elf
f - fire/fireplace
