Phase 2 Grapheme/picture cards (with answers)

What’s included?
x5 sheets for all Phase 2 sounds. Grapheme/picture cards in portrait orientation, pdf format. Answers included - in a clear format for learners to reference themselves, encouraging autonomy.

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.

What’s it for?
This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce all of Phase 2 sounds - matching an image with the sound (grapheme) into pairs.

These resources have been designed to be simple, predictable matching activities, to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of Phase 2 sounds. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently or for an adult to use to support learners needing some extra help/to revisit these sounds.

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