MDGOCK Grapheme/picture match AND writing activity

What’s included?
This download includes x2 resources which have been designed to use separately AND together. In total there are x24 pdf sheets, portrait orientation in colour. These resources are designed around the Phase 2 phonics sounds MDGOCK.

One resource is matching grapheme/picture word puzzles - x10 images for the sounds m/d/g/o/c/k.

The second resource involves sounding out these words and writing them - using sounds only in Phases 2 and 3 - perfect to practise and reinforce Phase 2/3 sound knowledge. This (second) resource is differentiated with a more and less supported version depending on your learners’ needs, the difficulty level is identified as an icon at the base of each sheet (right side).

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 resource set has been designed to practise matching graphemes with images beginning with each sound AND to sound out words (using letters/sounds within Phases 2 and 3) to write them.

Resource 1 Details
Grapheme/picture match puzzles
The tick in each image box (top right) indicates that this image is a word which can be sounded out.

How to use it?
An adult prints out ‘Grapheme/picture match puzzles’ sheet onto card and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate ‘letters/graphemes’ from ‘images’. The set of cut up letters and images can be placed on a table top for learners to match as a ‘two part’ mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the corresponding image.

Resource 2 Details
Writing words resource
Pages 1-2. Learners are to sound out and write the words for the images featured on the sheet, one image per box. These sheets are differentiated - page 1 is easier to complete (than page 2) as lines (to write on) show how many sounds are in each word.

Red lines/letters indicate a sound which may be difficult to hear clearly when the word is spoken, e.g. ‘cricket’ is often said as ‘crickit’ with an ‘i’ sound. Learners may need help with these (red) letters/sounds.

Page 3 clearly shows the answers.

Resource layout
The font used on page 1 is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120. The font is the same type on page 4 - size 40.
