Phase 2/3 Red Set - s a t p i n letter/picture match

What’s included?
This download includes x20 pdf pages, portrait orientation in colour featuring five sets of ten/five images that begin with the sounds s/a/t/p/i/n with x2 sheets (featuring the same images) providing x10 words to sound out and write for each letter. Letters ‘i’ and ’n’ have x5 words each. The words to sound out only use letters found in Phases 2 and 3 - perfect to practise and reinforce Phase 2/3 sound knowledge.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support.

What’s it for?
This resource has been designed to practise sounding out words using letters/sounds within Phases 2 and 3 - sounding out to spell, read and write them.

Resource Details
The tick in each image box on page 1 (top right) indicates that this image is a word which can be sounded out.

The layout of every letter/sound in this set is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent.

Page 1 is designed to be used with all letters in this red set - match initial letter sounds with images. Pages 2 and 3 are for practising sounding out and writing words on. Page 4 shows the ‘answers’.

How to use it?
Page 1. An adult prints page 1 out onto card and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate ‘letters’ from ‘images’. Instructions are also included on page 1. The set (of cut up letters and images) can be placed on a table top for learners to match - the image with the correct initial letter sound as a ‘two part’ mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the corresponding image.

Pages 2/3. Learners are to sound out and write the words for the images featured on the sheet, one image per box. Page 2 is easier to complete as lines (to write on) show how many sounds are in each word. Any ‘red’ lines to write on indicate a ‘tricky’ sound which may be difficult to hear clearly when the word is spoken or may be an irregular spelling (not yet learnt). Learners may need help with these letters/sounds.

Page 5 clearly shows the answers. Red letters identify a tricky/irregular spelling.

Resource layout
The font used on page 1 is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120. The font is the same type on page 4 - size 40.
