What’s included?
This download includes x3 A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise reading and writing CVC words mostly within Phase 2. One sound in this set - (v) is Phase 3.
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 activity is interactive and encourages learners to sound out and read simple CVC words and think about what these words mean. Some words of course may have more than one meaning, however for the purpose of this activity I have only provided one illustration for every word. For words which are ‘new’ to them learners may need to work by process of elimination to identify the correct word/picture combination to record this (in writing) on the sheet provided.
Resource Details
The layout includes one ‘CVC wheel’ to make with easy to follow instructions. Once the wheel is assembled and turned different initial letters are revealed to make x9 ‘_an’ CVC words.
ALL words are ‘real’ (not ‘nonsense’) words.
Words/pictures included are:
ban
can
fan
man
nan
pan
ran
tan
van (v is a phase 3 sound)
Differentiation
Also included is one sheet in two levels of difficulty. The first sheet only has the initial sound missing (easier), the second sheet has ALL letters missing - for learners to write on the lines provided (more challenging). The level of difficulty is indicated by an icon at the base of each sheet (right side) - green for easier, red for more challenging.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of each sheet (left side). The CVC phonics wheel can be reused time and again.
Suggestion
I suggest printing and making the phonics wheel out of card which is stronger so more robust than paper and easier to turn.
Important message…
ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.
Feedback of this resource would be brilliant. Thank you!

What’s included? What is it?!
This download includes two A4, pdf sheet (portrait) to practise handwriting Phase 5 ‘tricky words’ - oh, people, Mr, Mrs, Ms, asked, called, could, looked, their.
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.
Resource details
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin. The words have each been repeated three times (in three columns) left to right.
There are clear, visual, instructions at the top of the sheet, in three parts (left to right). In the centre (at the top) the colour order to follow is clearly illustrated, guiding learners to begin with dark green, follow light green, pale yellow, mid yellow, orange and then red to ‘stop’. Not all letters have enough steps to follow through using all of these colours.
This resource has been designed for learners to write one word at a time, gradually reducing the level of support provided (left to right). E.g. learners begin with the word on the left (in the first column) and once they have written this they move onto the same word, to the right (in the centre/column two). Lastly learners write the same word a third time on the right (column three).
The first word (column one) has a green (‘go’) starting dot, coloured arrows around the outside of each letter to show the direction to move the pencil from the beginning to the end red (‘stop’) dot.
The second word (column two) also includes a green starting (‘go’) dot and red (‘stop’) dot as well as one arrow per letter making clear the initial direction the pencil should move in.
The third word (column three) includes a dark grey starting dot and light grey stop dot for each letter. Learners will need to use the knowledge they have learnt from writing each word twice before to complete writing ‘word three’ more independently.
At the base of each sheet there is also a space to further practise writing each of these words several times and smaller (each positioned on a line). The words at the base of the sheet only have a grey starting dot to help learners.
There is a clear space at the lowest edge of both sheets for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheets (right side) a space for the number date - helpful to keep track of progress if learners revisit this activity if needed.
The font used in the coloured boxes is Sassoon Infant Std - size 65. The words at the base of the sheet are the same font but smaller - size 40.
Page numbers are clearly included at the base of each sheet (right side).

What’s included?
This download includes x2 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the (similar shaped) lowercase letters l, t, i, j.
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.
These resources have been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing letters which are visually similar. This resource set should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together, reinforcing the correct way of writing letters with similar shapes.
Resource details
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write.
I have grouped these letters into pairs - l/t and i/j.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the number date at the top, right of the sheet, helpful to keep completed sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time.
All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.

What’s included?
This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting two lowercase letters b and d.
What’s it for?
These resources have been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing the letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ which are visually very similar. This resource should help in providing some focused additional support looking at b and d together.

The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write.
This resource focuses on the letter b for the first x4 lines then letter d for the next x4 lines. The last line focuses on both letters - b then d. Each line has been designed to become slightly more challenging in terms of the visual support provided.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the number date at the top, right of the sheet, helpful to keep completed sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time.
All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.
Lines 1 and 5
These letters are shaded a with pale grey and have an outline to help guide learners writing inside the line. The first b/d on line 1/5 begins with a clear colour-coded letter showing exactly where to begin - on the green ‘go dot’ (step 1) . Learners follow the colour coded numbered dots to the final red ‘stop dot’.
Lines 2 and 6
These letters are the same as on lines 1/5, however the letters do not have the ‘outline’ guiding learners to keep ‘inside’ of the lines.
Lines 3 and 7
These letters do not have an outline or grey base colour, only a starting dot and grey dotted lines.
Lines 4 and 8
These letters have a grey base colour and a starting dot but do not include guiding dotted lines. Learners will need to remember the directions to form these letters by themselves.
Line 9
This is a repeat of the style of the letters as previously introduced (as arranged vertically) to encourage learners to become more independent as the move right along the line when in writing these letters. Learners will also need to switch from writing b’s to d’s in the middle of line 9.

What’s included?
This download includes x3 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the lowercase letters s, f, x, z, e. The way these letters are written is more irregular than the letters in the other groups (also available in my TES shop - for free!)
Who’s it for?
These resources have been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.
These resources have been designed as these letters are 'similar’ - the way they are formed is more ‘irregular’ than the other letter groups. These letters zig zag (the letter ‘z’), start and stop in alternating directions (the letter ‘x’), twist and turn (AND start and stop!) - letters ’s’ and ‘f’, begin writing in a reverse direction than ‘usual’ (the letter ‘e’). These handwriting sheets should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters.

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.
Resource details
Both versions included have clear starting dots as well as ‘tracing dots’ to follow for every letter. On one the learner writes onto a pale grey which shows each letter shape, on the other the learner writes onto a white letter with a clear grey outline defining each letter shape, encouraging/guiding learners to remain ‘within the lines’.
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Lines (under each day of the week) are included to model how letters look when positioned on a line.
There is a clear space at the base of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space at the top (right) to record the number date (to help keep track of progress, over time if these completed activity sheets are kept).

What’s included?
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 or ideal for assessment purposes at the end of Phase 2. This resource is also ideal for pupils 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 and a space for the number date (top, right).
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’ or ‘football’ kit)
rat
bag
bat
frog
lemon (the ‘o’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’)
More challenging sheet
stamp
ink
nest
dog
gift (not to be confused with ‘present’!)
duck
octagon (learners need to know this 2D shape! In addition the ‘a’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’, learners may need help with this)
up
bell
hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’!)
daffodil (learners will need to know the name of this flower or may write ‘flower’ instead. In addition the ‘o’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’ or ‘a’)
grass
Suggestion
These sheets could be used for assessment purposes at the end of Phase 2 once all the sounds have been introduced. Alternatively these sheets could be laminated and used as a table top activity for learners to access independently using a wipe clean pen.

*New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available!
What’s included?
This download includes four A4, pdf sheets (x2 portrait x2 landscape) to practise handwriting lowercase letters. There are two versions (both with/without lines) - in alphabetical order and grouped according to letter shape/orientation.
Resource details
Two versions of this resource are included - in alphabetical order and grouped by letter shape and how similar letters are written.
This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dots on top of each letter provide guidance of where exactly to write. Both versions include the letters ‘on’ or without lines.
There is a clear space at the base of each sheet for learners to write their name.
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.

What’s included?
This download includes x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to read/sound out phase 3 words (all nouns).
What’s it for?
This activity has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 200 high frequency words and practise reading these words by sounding them out. All words have been sorted into colour groups depending on which phonics phase they fit in with so words can be introduced at the right time for your learners. This set of words is ‘nouns’ - all words fit in with phonics Phase 3.
This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently, during ‘busy/quiet times’ or those needing some individual 1:1 support.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is also suitable for older learners with additional learning needs.
How to use it?
Learners cut out words along dotted lines provided and (ideally to avoid getting words in a muddle!) look at one word at a time to ‘sound it out’. Learners then match the word with the image - placing each word card on/in the box underneath the images. Word cards are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched the words with the images.
Resource Details…
These words are all from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. It is possible to ‘sound out’ these words.
Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘oa’ in ‘boat’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side).
To fit in with other resources available in my TES shop - the colour indicates which phonics phase these words fit in with. Purple indicates that the words are from 'phase 3’.

What’s included?
This download includes x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to look at/read ‘tricky’ words (nouns) from the first 200 high frequency word list.
What’s it for?
This activity has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 200 high frequency words and practise reading these words on sight by looking more closely at them. Learners can focus on the black letters (red letters indicate where the words are tricky) and use their phonics knowledge (and the images provided) to ‘work out’ these words (all nouns).
This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently, during ‘busy/quiet times’ or those needing some individual 1:1 support.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children/pupils in Year 1 who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in Year 2 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is also suitable for older learners who need to revisit these tricky words/spelling as well as pupils with additional learning needs.
How to use it?
Learners cut out words along dotted lines provided and (ideally to avoid getting words in a muddle!) look at one word at a time to become familiar with it. Learners can focus on the black letters to attempt (in part) to sound each word out. Learners then match the word with the image - placing each word card on/in the box underneath the images. Word cards are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched the words with the images.
Resource Details…
These words are all from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. This resource has been designed to make the ‘tricky’ part of these words clear to learners. By focusing on the letters which are not tricky learners may be able to use those sounds and other reading knowledge (the shape of the words, matching to the picture cues) to work the words out.
Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘ey’ in ‘money’. Tricky / ‘irregular’ letters are identified in red, such as ‘a’ in ‘ball’.
