What’s included? What is it?! This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait) to practise handwriting six Phase 2 ‘tricky words’ - I, the, to, no, go, into. 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 six words have each been repeated three times (in three columns) left to right. There are clear, visual, instructions at the top of the 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 the sheet for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheet (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.

What’s included? This download includes x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to read/sound out phase 3 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 3. 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. 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 x2 sheets, both landscape orientation, pdf format to look at and read / sound out x20 number names from the ‘common word’ list. What’s it for? This activity set has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the common words and practise become familiar with seeing/reading these words on sight as well as matching these words with their images. This set includes x15 number names which can be sounded out and x5 ‘tricky’ number names (which can’t be sounded out). All words included have a matching image (of the numeral and correct number of objects). 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 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. Instructions for how to use this resource are numbered as a list on the left side of this activity sheet. There is a clear space for learners to write their name (right) and the number date (top, right). Resource Details… Words have been organised depending on which phonics phase they fit in with. The 'title box’ (top-right)’ makes the colour coded system clear. Pink indicates that the words are from ‘phase 2’, 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+. Red letters indicate the tricky letters e.g. the ‘o’ and ‘e’ in ‘one’ are both tricky (and both are red) as well as ‘irregular’ letters/sounds, e.g. the second ‘e’ in ‘seven’ which can be commonly pronounced as an ‘u’. Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘th’, ‘ir’ and ‘ee’ in ‘thirteen’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side). Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? This download includes x3 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the lowercase letters s, f, x, z, e. The way these letters are written is more irregular than the letters in the other groups (also available in my TES shop - for free!) Who’s it for? These resources have been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. These resources have been designed as these letters are 'similar’ - the way they are formed is more ‘irregular’ than the other letter groups. These letters zig zag (the letter ‘z’), start and stop in alternating directions (the letter ‘x’), twist and turn (AND start and stop!) - letters ’s’ and ‘f’, begin writing in a reverse direction than ‘usual’ (the letter ‘e’). These handwriting sheets should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters. 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. I have grouped these letters into pairs - s/f, x/z and e/z. 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. It would be helpful to keep completed sheets to 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.

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? 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.

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? Includes ALL x26 alphabet letters with the same colour (grey) outline - so sets can be used in any combination - mix and match which letters/sounds to focus on depending on the needs of your learner/s. This download includes x22 pdfs, portrait in colour each featuring five/ten images that all begin with one sound - a b c d e/o f g h i/u j k l m n p q r s t v/y w x/z. Letter ‘x’ is the only exception where the x sound is at the END of those words/images. What’s it for? This resource is to enable learners to practise identifying the first (initial) sound (phoneme) of objects (images) and match these with the correct, matching letter (grapheme). I have also grouped these letters into coloured sets (red, orange, yellow, green and blue - also available in my TES shop). However, this black and white (grey) set enables adults to focus on the sets learners need additional exposure to. How to use it? An adult prints the letter sheets (required) out (ideally onto card) and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate the ‘letters’ from the ‘images’ (instructions are included on each sheet itself). These pieces (images and letters) can then be placed on a table top for learners to match. Learners are to match the image with the correct initial letter sound as a two part mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the images which have the same initial letter (end/final sound for x). This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising these letters and identifying the correct initial letter (phonics) sound for five/ten images (per letter). 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, revisiting any/all of these sounds. Resource Details The images chosen all have a clear initial letter sound at the beginning but are not words which can easily be sounded out. The focus of this activity is purely to identify the initial letter sound for these images - the cross (top right of each image) indicates that these images are not to be sounded out. A sound-out-able version of this ‘Alphabet Match’ activity (with matching worksheets) for every letter (using Phase 2 and 3 sounds only) is available in my TES shop. The layout of every letter/sound in this set is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent. Resource layout The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120, so a large, ‘easy to read’ size.

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 30, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Smarties included! 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 There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Smarties’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one tube of Smarties - each learner will need a tube each! Learners could be given a real tube with either real or ‘paper/cardboard Smarties’ inside. See attachment included to cut out and give your learners a random selection of paper Smarties instead. I have found tubes of Smarties have an average of x30 Smarties per tube but if you are giving learners paper/cardboard Smarties this really can be any number of course to fit their ability. The maximum number of one colour of Smarties which will fit on to the bar chart is 12. Page 1 Learners are to sort the Smarties in the tube into x8 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and brown). Learners then count the number of Smarties in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each colour group of Smarties. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 Smarties (for each colour group). Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same tube/number of Smarties. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.

What’s included? This download includes seven A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting objects, sorting (colours) and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple bar chart. Paper Skittles included! 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 There are x7 sheets in total. Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Skittles’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!) This activity is organised around one random amount (portion) of Skittles - each learner will need their own portion. Learners could be given a real Skittles or ‘paper/cardboard Skittles’. On the bar chart there is space for up to x24 Skittles of one colour so the amount of Skittles given to learners can be any number to fit their ability, however no more than x24 of any one colour group if you intend for learners to use the bar chart (pages 3/5). Page 1 Learners are to sort their portion of Skittles into x5 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green and purple). Learners then count the number of Skittles in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘colour’ boxes for each colour group of Skittles. Page 3 Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same number (portion) of Skittles. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.

What’s included? This download includes x2 A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise counting up to 7 types of traffic/ways of travel and data handling - transferring the information collected to a clear, simple block diagram. There is also a space to add in your own ‘traffic’ should this be needed. 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 There are x2 stages to this activity, going out (always with an adult!) to count vehicles for an agreed amount of time and transferring the information collected onto a block diagram. Page 1 Learners are to count the number of vehicles observed passing along a road (from a safe distance and always with adult supervision!) The types of vehicles included on the recording sheet are cars, vans, buses, trucks/lorries, bicycles, motorbikes, pedestrians. There is a space to add another type of traffic in the lowest box. Page 2 Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear block diagram. The vehicles listed on the ‘traffic survey’ sheet are included in the same order here to assist the process of transferring this information. Learners can colour the same number of ‘coloured boxes for each group of vehicles. There is space on the bar chart for up to 12 vehicles (for each vehicle group). Vehicle groups with any more than 12 should colour up to 12 as this indicates ‘12+’.
