How to use this resource
An adult needs to cut out and make the three phonics dice - clear instructions are included. Each player will need one game card (and a pencil!) There are two game cards included on page 3 - these can be printed/photocopied as many times as needed and the sheet cut in half to separate the two game cards (one per player).
This game can be for one learner to play alone or for several learners to play together in a group (taking turns).
The game instructions are included on pages 1 and 3 of the download - I will also include them here:
How to play game
Each player takes turns to roll the three dice together.
Each player places the three dice next to each other, left to right - red, amber, green.
Player sounds out the graphemes to read the word.
If this is a ‘real’ word player writes it in the coloured boxes on their card (on the ‘left’ side). If this is a ‘nonsense’ word the player writes this word in the coloured boxes on their card (on the right side).
Play passes to next player.
If a player rolls the same combination as previously rolled they can have another turn.
First player to roll (read and write!) x5 real OR nonsense words wins!
There are various words which can be made using this combination of letters in the set order. Some ‘real word’ examples include sat/bat/hat/mat/pat/rat, pig/bill/hill/mill/pill, pull/bug/hug/mug/rug, sock/rock/hog, hen/men/pen/red/bell/sell. I hope you have fun finding them all - real AND nonsense!
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.

x2 sheets to practise writing words using Phase 2 phonics knowledge. Both sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format
Who’s it for?
These ‘Phase 2’ phonics ‘writing words’ sheets have been designed for Early Years children who are 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 learners with additional learning needs.
How to use it
There are two levels of worksheet to complete, both include an icon at the lower right side indicating this level. Both sheets include colours which link to the order that the sounds are taught. From top downwards - red sounds are introduced first (so should be most familiar), orange sounds are next, followed by yellow then green sounds which are the last of the Phase 2 phonics sounds.
The less challenging sheet focuses on CVC words and includes ‘sound dots’ under the lines (to write on) indicating how many sounds are in each word. This sheet also has one CCVC and one CVCVC word at the end (green).
This sheet displays the icon with the green figure (lower right side).
The more challenging sheet focuses on words with generally more sounds or using those sounds which can be trickier to remember. This sheet displays the icon with the red figure (lower right side).
There is a simple instruction at the top (for learners) and a clear space at the base of each sheet for learners to write their name.
Resource Details…
ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out using sounds within Phase 2.
The words to write are listed here:
Less challenging sheet
ant
tap
pan
map
cat
mat
kit (like ‘PE kit’ or ‘football kit’)
rat
bag
bat
frog
lemon
More challenging sheet
stamp
ink
nest
dog
gift (not to be confused with ‘present’!)
duck
octagon (learners need to know this 2D shape)

What’s included?
This download includes two A4, portrait pdf sheets to make number fans featuring numerals from 0 to 10.
How to use this resource
Number fans can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. Number fans can be used as a personal reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. Number fans can also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors.
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.
Suggestion
I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyring which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic. These could be ideal where you wish learners to access the contents of the ring e.g. to order the numbers and come in a variety of colours. Alternatively I have found standard metal keyring also work well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the ring.
I recommend that each number is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf.

x5 sheets (x4 sets of cards and answers) for Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets. Portrait orientation, pdf format
Who’s it for?
This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has been designed to be a simple activity to consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently and/or for learners to revisit these sounds with an adult.
This resource has been designed for Early Years children, pupils in Year 1 who need some sound practise/reinforcement or learners with additional learning needs.
How to use it?
Each learner is to match the ‘grapheme’ and 'picture’ cards. There are four colour coded sets to help limit options and make the different sets clear to help with organisation.
Resource Details…
Phase 2 is split 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 with these.
Although the focus of this activity is the ‘sound’ (only) ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out in the order that the Phase 2 sounds have been learnt. The red set (with the exception of ‘nest - which contains an ‘e’ from set 3) are all words which contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n.
I have designed additional resources to extend learning, including reading and writing words only using sounds in Phase 2. These are available in my TES shop.
The answers are listed here:
Set 1
s - stamp
a - ant
t - tap
p - pan
i - ink
n - nest (contains ‘e’ - introduced later, with set 3)
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)
c - cat
k - kit (e.g. football/PE kit)
Set 3
ck - duck (first ‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners)
e - egg (double ‘gg’ may be an issue though of course 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
Set 4
f - frog

l - lemon
ll - bell (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)
ss - grass (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)
Recommendations
I recommend printing these resources onto card rather than paper to help improve durability. I’ve recently purchased a ‘corner cutter’ which gives beautiful smooth, curved edges - these card corners are radius size 18. I used size R7 for square cards (corners) and size R4 for larger ‘answer’ cards. The corners of the answer cards are size R10.

This download includes four A4, portrait pdf sheets to make number fans featuring numerals AND number names from 0 to 10, ‘zero’ to ‘ten’. Each number is a different colour - in rainbow colour order… The number and number name colours match, e.g. ‘1’ is the same colour as the number name ‘one’.
How to use this resource
Number fans can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. Number fans can be used as a personal reference resource for learners e.g. to help count and order numbers and/or cross-check the correct orientation of individual numbers if unsure when writing. Number fans can also be used for a variety of games and to accompany and involve learners during counting rhymes and songs, usable both inside the classroom and outdoors.
The rainbow colours may help some learners not yet confident with number recognition, who know colours. E.g. if you ask, ‘Can you show me number three?’ - this could be followed by ‘Can you show me number three, the orange number word?
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.
Suggestion
I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic. These could be ideal should you wish learners to access the contents of the ring e.g. to order the numbers and come in a variety of colours. Alternatively I have found standard metal keyrings also work well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the keyring.
I recommend that each number is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf.

This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for 3D shapes and related words (page 1) and the answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2).
Who’s it for?
This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners with reading in the early years, especially pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. Knowing these 3D shape names (and related words) is an important part of maths throughout school and in the wider world. This word search makes the spellings clear and introduces/reinforces shape related vocabulary.
Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.
The 3D shape names (and related words) have been organised into four groups of four, positioned below the word search. There are x17 words to find in total as a ‘bonus word’ is also included. These words are hidden horizontally (backwards not forwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally. Words to find are base, face, edge, flat, curved, round, sphere, cone, cube, cuboid, prism, cylinder, pyramid, straight, vertex, hemisphere also (the bonus word) ‘solid’.
The extra ‘bonus word’ can be found by answering this question - What are all 3D shapes? Answer - All 3D shapes are solid. This question (and answer) is at the base of each sheet.
Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify).
Useful for…
I find word searches like this good for a range of uses including as an introduction to a topic, follow on activity for early finishers, a related fun approach to a topic themed focus and as an engaging homework task, useful in supporting reading, spelling and maths. I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers.
Online learning
This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.
