Phonics Sorting Activity

This phonics sorting game is an ideal learning resource for children to work on independently or as a paired activity. There are 48 real and nonsense words on flashcards to sort and place on the correct monster - Grib or Grub.

Your little learners will have to use their decoding skills to work out nonsense words, whilst many may begin to recognise real words by sight as they practice more often.This is a great way to encourage them to practice their reading skills whilst having fun along the way!

The activity is most suitable for 5-6 year olds, depending on whether or not they are working at an age appropriate level. If not, this could be used as a challenge activity for slightly younger children or as an intervention resource for slightly older children.

Once they’ve sorted each word, they can use the monster checklists to see if their sorting was correct, again promoting self assessment strategies.

The resource includes; an instruction sheet, 2 monster sheets -Grib and Grub, 4 sheets of real and nonsense printable flashcards and 5 checklist sheets. These are all downloadable as a pdf.
