This resource has been made for the children to access independently during child initiated time. They can watch the Numberblocks number 3 song on the first slide and then they have a selection of slides which show the number 3 or other numbers. The children need to answer the questions - Is this 3? The children need to click on the yes or no to answer the question and then they are shown if they are right or wrong. If they are wrong, the slide will go back to the question so they can try it again. There are lots of variations of how to represent 3: Dice Fingers Ten Frames Numicon And this material is supported with Numberblocks throughout the slides.

These are peg boards. You can print these out, laminate them but you need some pegs with numbers 1-10 to compliment this resource. The children should indicate which number is missing by placing the right numbered peg on top of Big Tum. These were made to go a long side the Powerpoint versions/games I created to place on the interactive whiteboard, so the children have two independent games they can get on with while I was leading a guided group activity.

This powerpoint/indpendent game matches the resource I made with bottle tops. The idea is that the child has to click on the correct letter sounds to make a CVC word. The powerpoint is set up to tell them if they got it wrong (a goalie saves the kick) or right, when the ball is kicked into the goal. Words like hot, yum, bed are used for the words that are all phase 2 words (and phase 3 with the y). Children can access this resource independently and is great for anyone who loves football. 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 resource is aimed at beginner readers to try and put some fun into reading and creating words. The picture cards are double should be double backed so they have a picture on one side that they can make a word to match it or they have the actual word they can copy. 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 resource is designed to be used independently, but can obviously be used as a teaching aid too.

This is designed on a simple problem solving. Children have to work out if the number sentences are right or wrong. They click on the tick or cross to indicate if ‘Mr Jones’ is right what he says about the addition shown using the part, part, whole mats. The powerpoint shows the cubes being placed together. The powerpoint game indicates if the children choose the correct answer and will not let them pass onto the next until they do. There is a set of 10 questions for the children to have a go at and then it cycles back to the first question. Children can access this game independently or it could be used as a teaching aid.

Children love Alphablocks and they are brilliant at helping young kids learn to read. I have found using these instantly recognisable characters in class help children on their initial journey of learning to read. In this game, that children can access independently on the board, children have the word family ‘at’ or ‘ad’ endings already shown on screen. This is surrounded by five pictures, so when an Alphablock friend joins the ‘at’ or ‘ad’ to make a word, the child needs to read this and click on the correct picture that matches the word. The game indicates if they make the right choice but also if they have done it wrong. They cannot move to the next picture until they click on the correct initial sound. At the end of the game it then cycles back to the beginning so you do not have to keep getting up to restart it too. Its a lovely addition to your enhanced learning environment during literacy lessons or phonics activities.

This resource includes every word included in the letters and sounds document in Phase 5 on target backgrounds. Each new sound has been highlighted in red so it will help children recognise the new sound within the word. The idea with this phonics game is to have a selection of words usually from the same sound on the wall. The teacher says a word and then the first child to hit the target (this can be with a ball etc, or slapping it with their hand) will win the point. A great way to help with fluency by creating competition within the group.

Reading and writing 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 by manipulating the sounds available to them. They look at the picture and then have three letters to make a word that matches it. 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 with the bottle tops 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.

Phonics should be active and fun. Short activities daily are far better than an extended written activity or a lot of teacher talk. Activities should be designed to allow the children to investigate new sounds. This is a bundle of phase 5 resources including the majority of sounds from ay to split diagraph u-e. The only one I struggled to find imagines to match was the ‘wh’ sound so this is the only one missing. They are £1 each on the shop so having 18 sets of boards at this price is a good bargain. This resource is designed to be a short activity where each child has a different word but the same pictures. They have to read the word and then can place a peg on the correct picture (out of eight) that matches what they have read. If working in a group they can then move onto the next peg board until they complete each one. Or they can be used as an intervention and one child or group could complete them. Initially these were made for a child whose poor fine motor made it hard for him to write but his reading was ok. The pegs were used to aid his fine motor development. But of course, any SEND resources or strategies can benefit many more children within the class. Any child who is beginning to read needs pictures to help form the imagination needed when reading. Young children don’t have that so reading is very much a ‘silent activity’ but with pictures their imaginations will develop until they can picture what they are reading like ‘free readers’ do.

These were used to enhance the outdoor area. We had a bike track which using tyres I made into go-cart arena but still wanted to made it look nicer so I made these road signs that I placed in a patterns of triangle, circles, rectangles and pentagons in various ways. They are on A3 size paper and we made sure that we double laminated them to make sure they lasted. The print was cut off close to the picture and laminated then this was cut back with around an inch border. Then laminated again. They have lasted for 3 years now with a little sun fading going on.

Numicon is brilliant. It really helps young children understand our number system. This is a display that I initially used at the top of our classroom windows (so I printed off back to back so you can see them both sides of the glass) and children then had a constant reminder of Numicon and numbers whether they were inside or outside during enhanced provision times.
