What’s included?
This download includes x3 A4, portrait pdf sheet to practise reading and writing CVC words mostly within Phase 2. Three sounds in this set (j, v and w) are 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 once turned different initial letters are revealed to make x9 ‘_et’ CVC words.
ALL words are ‘real’ (not ‘nonsense’) words.
Words/pictures included are:
bet
get
jet (j is a phase 3 sound)
met
net
pet
set
vet (v is a phase 3 sound)
wet (w 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.

What’s included?
x10 sheets (activity sheets with answers) for Phase 3 split into x5 activity sets. Portrait orientation, pdf format.
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 ‘phase 3’ phonics practise activity set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently.
Phase 2 (x4 sets) in same design is also available in my TES shop if you like this one.
How to use it?
Each learner needs to cut out x12 ‘phoneme pictures’ and match x2 of these ‘phoneme pictures’ to every grapheme (printed on the left of each sheet). Dotted lines guide where to cut, though picture-squares could be pre-cut for those who struggle with cutting out.
Resource Details…
Phase 3 has been split into five sets, one set per sheet. This set includes initial, middle and final sounds - learners may need this pointing out before working on these independently if you want them to be kept focused.
Set 1
j - jeans, jigsaw (piece)
v - volcano, van
w - wall, window
x - box, fox (learners may need help with identifying that the ‘x’ sound is at the end of these two words)
y - yes, yellow
z - zip, zebra
Set 2 (‘zz’ is in the middle/end of words here and ‘ng’ is at the end)
zz - pizza, fizz
qu - queen, quarter
ch - chocolate, cheese
sh - shoe, shorts
th - thumb, three
ng - ring, wing
Set 3 (two different ‘oo’ sounds here may confuse some learners)
ai - train, rain
ee - sheep, bee
igh - night, light (bright also!)
oa - goat, road
oo - book, foot
oo - moon, spoon
Set 4
ar - star, shark
or - fork, corn
ur - burger, purse
ow - cow, owl
oi - oil, coin
ear - beard, ear
Set 5 (three sounds ‘ow’, ‘or’ and ‘ar’ are repeated from set 4 (using different phoneme pictures) to avoid leaving gaps and provide an opportunity to reinforce these sounds)
air - airport, chair
ure - picture, treasure
er - ladder, finger (s)
ow - brown, clown
or - anchor, fort
ar - guitar, car
Optional Extension
Adding the word labels is optional and best provided as an extension for more able/quick learners. These tiny labels can be cut out and added under each ‘phoneme picture’, though the phoneme/grapheme matching should be completed first. The word labels are not consistently sound-out-able and learners would need to use their knowledge of the phonemes/graphemes already matched during the activity and look at the initial/final letter sounds to help them.

What’s included?
This download includes x2 sheets, both landscape orientation, pdf format to look at and read / sound out x20 number names from the ‘common word’ list.
What’s it for?
This activity set has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the common words and practise become familiar with seeing/reading these words on sight as well as matching these words with their images.
This set includes x15 number names which can be sounded out and x5 ‘tricky’ number names (which can’t be sounded out). All words included have a matching image (of the numeral and correct number of objects).
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.
Instructions for how to use this resource are numbered as a list on the left side of this activity sheet. There is a clear space for learners to write their name (right) and the number date (top, right).
Resource Details…
Words have been organised depending on which phonics phase they fit in with. The 'title box’ (top-right)’ makes the colour coded system clear. Pink indicates that the words are from ‘phase 2’, purple indicates that the words are from 'phase 3’, turquoise indicates that the words are from 'phase 5’ and grey indicates that the words are from phase 6+.
Red letters indicate the tricky letters e.g. the ‘o’ and ‘e’ in ‘one’ are both tricky (and both are red) as well as ‘irregular’ letters/sounds, e.g. the second ‘e’ in ‘seven’ which can be commonly pronounced as an ‘u’.
Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘th’, ‘ir’ and ‘ee’ in ‘thirteen’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side).

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.
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 x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format to read/sound out words (nouns) in Phases 3, 5 and 6+
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 Phases 3/5/6+.
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 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. ‘ow’ in ‘town’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side). Any ‘tricky’/‘irregular’ letters are identified in red, such as ‘e’ in ‘garden’ which tends to be pronounced as an ‘u’.
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’, turquoise indicates that the words are from 'phase 5’ and grey indicates that the words are from phase 6+. The ‘title’ (top, left) can be used as a visual reference to keep this colour coded system clear.

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’.

What’s included?
x2 sheets (x10 picture/CVC word cards) focusing on the ‘e’ sound. Both sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format. Also included are instructions of how to make a ‘Function Machine’ and what is needed to make one.
These cards are designed to be used with a Function Machine, however you may have another use in mind…
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
As said, these CVC cards have been designed to be printed double-sided on card to use with the ‘Function Machine’ (~instructions of how to make one of these included) to practise sounding out simple CVC (Phase 2 phonics) words - learners read each word then push the card into the top function machine slot and can see if they are correct when the picture pops out of the slot below.
This activity has been designed to be a simple, interactive, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals to be getting on with independently.
How to use it?
An adult needs to print these card (double-sided) onto card and and pre-cut the cards into x10 separate rectangle cards.
The set of cards can then be placed on a table top, positioned with a ‘Function Machine’ for learners to use on their own or perhaps with adult support (initially). Learners read each word by sounding out the individual phonemes, they then push the card into the top slot of the function machine and find out if they are correct when the picture pops out of the lower slot…
Phoneme ‘dots’ have been included under every grapheme so that learners know how many sounds to say as they read (sound out) the words.
Resource Details…
The words/pictures included use phonemes/graphemes from Phases 2 and 3 but mainly Phase 2.
The words included in this set are -
Orange (Set e)
peg, bell, hen, red, bed, dress, web, ten, yes, pen
Sets for ALL vowels (doubled sided or as separate cards to read and match) are also available in my TES shop. Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed up.

An adult needs to print these card (double-sided) onto card and and pre-cut the cards into x10 separate rectangle cards.
The set of cards can then be placed on a table top, positioned with a ‘Function Machine’ for learners to use on their own or perhaps with adult support (initially). Learners read each word by sounding out the individual phonemes, they then push the card into the top slot of the function machine and find out if they are correct when the picture pops out of the lower slot…
Phoneme ‘dots’ have been included under every grapheme so that learners know how many sounds to say as they read (sound out) the words.
Resource Details…
The words/pictures included use phonemes/graphemes from Phases 2 and 3 but mainly Phase 2.
The words included in this set are -
Blue (Set** u**)
mug, bun (may be confused with ‘cake’ or ‘cupcake’ though in Yorkshire (where I am from!) this is a ‘bun’!), duck, cup, truck, slug, sun, bug, plug, hut.
Sets for ALL vowels (doubled sided or as separate cards to read and match) are also available in my TES shop. Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed up.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
As said, these CVC cards have been designed to be printed double-sided on card to use with the ‘Function Machine’ (~instructions of how to make one of these included) to practise sounding out simple CVC (Phase 2 phonics) words - Learners read each word then push the card into the top function machine slot and can see if they are correct when the picture pops out of the slot below.

What’s included?
This download includes four A4, pdf sheets (portrait) to practise handwriting x6 lowercase letter sounds.
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 and dots on top of each letter provide guidance of where exactly to write.
Set 4
This set includes x5 letter sounds to practise handwriting - f ff l ll ss
There are four designs, each numbered and each slightly differently according to the design and level that best suits your learner/s. The numbers 1 - 4 (at the top of each sheet) and the cover image left to right shows the levels in order of easiest (1 - most support, less challenge) to hardest (4 - least support, more challenge).
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.
Each set of letters has been included on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.
There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name.
Page 1
Learners have one set (row) of each letter/sound to write - using the starting dot and dotted lines (on top of each pale grey letter shape) as a guide.
Page 2
Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes the same (grey) letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot and without the dotted line guides. Letters ‘f’ and ‘ff’ share the line (between the two) due to limited space.
Page 3
Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes some grey letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot. There is also a blank space for learners to write their own letters after this for every letter. Letters ‘f’ and ‘ff’ share the line (between the two) due to limited space.
Page 4
Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line is a blank line for learners to write each support without any scaffolding support. Letters ‘f’ and ‘ff’ share the empty line (between the two) due to limited space.
