Phase 2 Grapheme and picture cards to match WITH word boards (and answers)

What’s included?
x17 sheets for all Phase 2 sounds Grapheme/picture cards in portrait orientation, ‘word boards’ in landscape orientation, all pdf format.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are just learning these sounds for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds. This resource is also ideal for older learners with additional learning needs who need to revisit these sounds.

How to use it?
This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce all of Phase 2 sounds - matching images with the corresponding sound (grapheme), then matching these to the whole word to sound out.

Answers cards included in a clear format for learners to reference themselves, encouraging autonomy.

Print resources onto card rather than paper, cut following dotted lines.

Resource Details
The Phase 2 sounds have been grouped into four groups to avoid learners becoming overwhelmed and making it easier tho target individual sound practise as necessary.

Red set
s a t p i n
Set 1
s - stamp
a - ant
t - tap
p - pan
i - ink
n - nest (contains ‘e’ - introduced later, with set 3)

Orange Set
m d g o c k
Set 2
m - map
d - dog
g - gift (contains ‘f’ ‘ introduced later, with set 4)
o - octagon (although this is a longer word it can be sounded out using sounds from sets 1 and 2. IF learners know this 2D shape). The ‘a’ in the centre of this word may be pronounced in different ways and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky
c - cat
k - kit (e.g. football/PE kit)

Yellow Set
ck e u r h b
Set 3
ck - duck (first ‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners)
e - egg (double ‘g’ may be an issue though the ‘g’ letters together only have one ‘g’ sound)
u - up (escalator - arrow indicates this)
r - rat (not to be confused with ‘mouse’)
h - hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’)
b - bag

Green Set
f ff l ll ss
Set 4
f - frog
ff - daffodil (‘middle’ sound may catch out some learners) Learners will need to know this particular flower or may just associate this image with ‘flower’ (for ‘f’) The ‘o’ in the centre of this word may be pronounced ‘oa’ and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky.
l - lemon The ‘o’ in the centre of this word may be pronounced ‘u’ and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky.
ll - bell (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)
ss - grass (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)
