Reading is a ‘silent’ process for many children. When first learning they do not possess the ability to imagine what the written word is telling us. They have many, many other skills they have to master before they can get there. This powerpoint is aimed at beginner readers and to try and put some fun into reading. They read it and then they have to match it to the correct picture. With a picture to help young children visualise what they are reading, they have a purpose to reading it too and not just going through the motions. This powerpoint is designed to be used independently, but can obviously be used as a teaching aid too. I made a lot of resources for traditional tales that can be printed off and laminated. Then the idea was for the children in my class to access these independently, either by using pegs to match the answers or other ways to work out the answer like using bottle tops with letters wrote on them. These resources are available in my shop. This resource is exactly the same as the one you can print off and use pegs to indicate which picture matches the sentences, but it is for use on the interactive whiteboard. Again, children can access this independently as it does say when you have the wrong answer or it can be used to model the printed version. All they need to do is click on the correct bottle top to indicate which letter comes next in the CVC word.

This powerpoint is designed to be used independently, but can obviously be used as a teaching aid too. The idea behind this resource is that children have a word they should read. It has sound buttons underneath to help them and they are mostly CVC words. When they have read the word, they should click on the picture that matches the word. The powerpoint will tell them if they get it right or wrong so they can do this independently or with yourself as guided reading.

I did make this for my daughter so this resource has a Frozen theme to indicate which answers are right. This of course can be edited to suit your classes own interests, but I did like the GIFs of them cheering and laughing.

I have left on my Bitmoji clapping at the end of each word’s slides, this can of course be left or edited to put your own there or just take the slide out completely. It is a powerpoint that you can edit if you need.

This resource is for the children to use. The idea was that it would form a part of a display low down so they could access it. In my head it was for initial sounds work as there are words/pictures that are not CVC words on the spinners but I have tried to include as many CVC words as I could so if they are ready to read the words then they can have a go. The resource itself is basically two circles that you split pin together. If you cut the triangle out from the second circle it will allow you to see one of the triangle sections of the first. The split pin allows children to move it around so they can see one picture and associated word with it. It also shows capital letter form and lower case form of each letter.

A very simple comprehension activity for children who are just learning to read. Each board has a picture and three words. The child should use a peg to place on top of the correct word that matches the picture. This way, they are reading lots (each word rhyme to help the child read them all) and the peg helps their fine motor skills too, which in turn helps with writing.

When a child is learning to read it is important for them to blend each word individually. However, when children are doing this they can forget what they have read already. They have a lot to workout and remember so its only natural. A strategy we use is to ask the child to go back to the beginning of the sentence once they blend a word and read the sentence with fluency and therefore not blending. This is the only way they can remember what the sentence is. This resource is designed to see if they understand what they have read. A very simple sentence has three different pictures under it. They should read the sentence and then use a peg to indicate which picture matches the sentence. The peg idea is to aid their fine motor development and therefore help with handwriting.

I created all these resources to be used in my class when they start in reception. They range from initial sound activities to reading/making CVC words up to reading a simple phase 2 (Letters and sounds) sentence. Lots of these resources allow the child to match the sound or word to a picture. They have been created so the child uses a peg to show which picture is the answer. Using a peg to do this instead of just pointing to it also helps develop their fine motor skills, which in turn will help, when they are ready, to write. There are seven resources included in this bundle so its a saving of £2 if you want to take advantage of this. They are all designed to be used in the children’s enhanced learning time where they can access them independently to show you what their learning has been.

Children need a stimulus when writing. When a child is beginning to learn to write, it is even more important. To a child at the very early stages of reading or writing see letters and words as empty and lifeless. An competent reader can see words using their imagination and a sentence can create a thousand pictures in your mind. As educators we need to help children reach this level of enjoyment through the written word. To help children on the beginning of their journey, sentence starters are a great aid. Not only do they need help with creating sentences with sentence starters but they need help with the imagination to create pictures in their minds with these sentences. Each sentence starter has a picture to match with the sentence. I have not included capital letters with the sentence starters unless they are similar to the lower case version, because I intended on using them for very early writers and I wouldn’t have taught them how to form capital letters let alone read and understand words with them. If you laminate the resource, they can use over and over again.

A great way for young children to learn how to read, to learn phonics is to manipulate letters and sounds. Here is a way to allow children to ‘play’ with sounds in order to make words. Early years teachers (Kindergarden) will be able to use this resource to see if children can spell words and read them. The idea here is to cut out the resource and fold it in half. Then laminate them. The extra part to this that you will need are bottle tops, where you have wrote letter sounds on the top. Once laminated, children can then use these bottle tops to place them on top of the circles to create simple CVC words that relate to Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

I created all these resources to be used in my class when they start in reception. The idea behind this resource is to allow the child to make the word that matches the picture and all the resources needed to do so are there to hand. The resource has all three letters to make the CVC word attached using a split pin and the child can move these around to make different combinations of the letters, hopefully they will be able to hear the initial sound, middle sound and end sound to the word and therefore be able to place them in the correct order.

I created all these resources to be used in my class when they start in reception. The idea behind this resource is to allow children to read the CVC word in the middle of the card. When they have done that, they choose one of the eight pictures around the outside and should put a peg on the correct picture. This shows understanding of what they have read but also helps with their fine motor skills, which in turn will help when they are ready to write.

Each of these sheets are designed for the children in Reception to access independently. Each has a copy of the friezes in the middle so children are aware of the sounds they are searching for. They then have six pictures. Four of these are the four ‘whats in the box’ pictures that are indicated on the planning. The other two are mixed up from the others letters that week. The idea is for children to use pegs and place them on the four pictures they believe have the initial sound that matches the frieze. The only exception for this are the diagraphs where they would be looking for the end sounds, or both (like ch,sh,th). I have included the end of phase 2 within these sheets. Diagraphs ch,sh,th,ng and nk, do not have specific planning for ‘whats in the box game’ but I have included them in these sheets as I am in no doubt some of my children will need the reinforcement of doing an activity like this. Hope it helps.

Little Wandle produces some amazing readers. The fact that we are teaching children in Reception what they used to learn in Year 2 by itself shows how fast the pace is. However, this pace is unrelenting and some children really struggle, even if they are involved with interventions every single day, they still need extra support. I produced sheets that I place on my writing table that allow children to practice sentence writing and add a picture to match them. Then I thought that some children need a little more scaffolding so I produced these sheets to help those children practice a certain sound. I also added letter formation practice, knowing full well that four year olds do find this hard. So these sheets include the picture and sounds matching Little Wandle, a picture box for children to draw something (I normally ask them to make this match what they write), a line to practice letter formation and a few lines to write an independent sentence. They have worked really well in encourage children to write independently and of course revise the sounds they are not sure of.
