I'd love to know what you think of what you download and please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any suggestions or requests...
What’s included?
x2 sheets (x10 picture/CVC word cards) focusing on the ‘o’ 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 -
Green (Set** o**)
dog, shop, frog, rock, cogs, clock, box, pot, fox, socks.
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.

What’s included?
This download includes x4 sheets, all portrait orientation, pdf format.
What’s it for?
This activity set has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 100/200 high frequency words and practise seeing these words on sight while matching these words with images. This set focuses on tricky words, all ‘nouns’ - all words included have a matching image.
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 or those needing some individual 1:1 support.
How to use it?
An adult can pre-cut along dotted lines provided and the set of x17 words (and images) can be shuffled and placed face-up on the carpet/a table top for learners to look at carefully and try to match.
Resource Details…
These words are all from the first 100/200 high frequency word list and are all ‘tricky’.
Red letters indicate the ‘tricky’ part/s.
Some letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound.
A ‘key’ is included at the top of each sheet (top, right).
The lilac box outline colour indicates that these words are all part of the ‘nouns’ set (other sets are coming!)
The small, white cross (top left of each image box) indicates that these words are not intended to be sounded out. Adults may wish to provide learners with one sheet at a time (cut up and ready to ‘match’) or all x4 sheets at once. All sheets provide learners with an opportunity to become more familiar with seeing and reading these words on-sight.
The words on sheets 1 to 4 have been arranged alphabetically and are as follows:
ball
bear
clothes
door
eyes
giant
head
horse
house
magic
mouse
money
one
school
shoe
two
water

What’s included?
This download includes four A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise reading and writing to correct x8 simple sentences. Every sentence has x3 mistakes to correct. The last two pages are the answer pages - the same sentences with every mistake made clear.
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
Pages 1 and 2 both include x4 sentences, each in a separate box, illustrated with a simple image on the right. Both pages include the same instructions at the top - making it clear to learners that there are x3 mistakes in each sentence and what these mistakes might be.
Mistakes may be spellings, capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of both pages.
The words included and spelling errors make the level of this activity aimed at learners who are learning Phase 5 phonics. Sentences include words containing Phase 5 sounds (ea, ay, a-e, aw, ph) as well as a knowledge of common high frequency words including she, you, his, are, and, said, see, their, not, with, at, the, to, do, that, can, in, loved, dad. The pictures provide clues to assist reading unfamiliar words (e.g. lions, zoo, sheep, lambs, chicken, grapes, bake) to encourage learners to use a range of reading skills when decoding these sentences if they are not at a level to read them on-sight.
Pages 3 and 4 clearly show the answers in exactly the same format to encourage learners to be autonomous in checking their own learning. Each mistake is circled in pink and corrected clearly underneath to make clear to learners exactly where and what each mistake was.

What’s included?
This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting numerals 0 to 10.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed to break down each step involved in writing these eleven numerals correctly, using green (go!) ‘starting dots’ and red ‘stop dots’ to make it clear to learners exactly where to begin and end writing. Colour coded arrows guide learners on which direction to follow. This resource should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these numerals more closely for those pupils who need a greater level of support and maybe find it harder to remember which direction to follow.
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
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 150.
This activity has been designed to write straight on. The start and stop dots make it clear where learners place their pencil to begin/where to end and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of exactly which direction to write.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet and a clear space to record the number-date at the top of the sheet - helpful to keep sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time…

What’s included?
This download includes x25 pdf pages, portrait orientation in colour featuring TWO different resources which can be used together. The first resource is a set of x5 OR x10 ‘sound/picture and WORD’ puzzles which are to be cut up and matched. The second resource is a matching set of activity sheets which can be completed on their own or AFTER the ‘sound/picture and WORD puzzles’ have been completed. There is a set of resources for ‘s’, ‘a’, ‘t’, ‘p’, ‘i’ AND ‘n’.
The words to sound out only use letters found in Phases 2 and 3 - perfect to practise and reinforce Phase 2/3 sound knowledge in both reading and writing.
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
Resource 1
The tick in each image box on pages 1 and 2 (top right) indicates that these images are words which can be sounded out.
The layout of every letter/sound/word puzzle in this set is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent.
Resource 2
Pages 1 and 2 are the SAME activity sheet but at TWO levels - with MORE support (page 1) and LESS support (page 2). Both activity sheets are for practising sounding out and writing words.
Page 3 clearly shows the ‘answers’.
How to use it?
Resource 1. An adult prints these two pages out (ideally onto card) and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate the ‘letters/images/words’. Instructions are also included (left side). The set (of cut up letters, images and words) can then be placed on a table top for learners to match - the correct initial letter with the image AND word - as a ‘three part’ mini jigsaw puzzle. Each (correct) letter and word only fits the corresponding image.
Resource 2. Learners are to sound out and write the words for the images featured on the sheet, one image per box. Page 1 is easier to complete (than page 2) 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 3 clearly shows the answers. Red letters identify a tricky/irregular spelling.

What’s included?
x20 landscape orientation pdf sheets for all Phase 2 phonics sounds. There are x4 sets, each with x3 sheets with x6/x5 cards to cut out plus an answer sheet for every set.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children, pupils in Year 1 who are just learning these sounds for the first time or who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds. This resource is also ideal for learners with additional learning needs.
How to use it?
An adult cuts along the dotted lines and places the set of x6 word cards on a table top. Learners look at the image on the left, then sound it out and write this word on the lines (on the right). A visual answer sheet is included which learners can use themselves to encourage autonomy.
Resource Details…
This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has been designed practise sounding out and writing simple words using only sounds in Phase 2. The idea is to introduce the sets in order as the new sounds are introduced to learners.

s - stamp
a - ant
t - tap
p - pan
i - ink

Orange Set 2
Includes words which contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k m, d, g, o, c, k
m - map
d - dog
g - gift (contains ‘f’ ‘ introduced later, with set 4)
o - octagon (although this is a longer word it can be sounded out using sounds from sets 1 and 2. IF learners know this 2D shape. In addition, the ‘a’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’, learners may need help with this)
c - cat
k - kit (e.g. football/PE kit)
Yellow Set 3
Includes words which all contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, b, r, u, h ck, e, b, r, u, h
ck - duck (first ‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners)
e - egg (double ‘gg’ may be an issue though of course the ‘g’ letters together only have one ‘g’ sound)
u - up (escalator - arrow indicates this)
r - rat (not to be confused with ‘mouse’ !)
h - hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’ !)
b - bag
Green Set 4
Includes words which contain all the sounds in Phase 2.
f - frog
ff - daffodil (‘middle’ sound may catch out some learners) Learners will need to know this particular flower or may just associate this image with ‘flower’ (for ‘f’. In addition the ‘o’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’ or ‘a’)
l - lemon (the ‘o’ is ‘red’ as some may pronounce this sound as ‘u’)
ll - bell (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)
ss - grass (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)

What’s included?
x6 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 Set 1 (letters - s a t p i n). Landscape orientation, pdf format.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce the first six sounds in Phase 2 - s a t p i n. Learners match pictures and sounds (as puzzles) to complete images and make a simple words to read. Learners can then use these completed puzzles to fill out missing words in sentences (either separate sentences or all sentences on one sheet) to complete, then read whole (simple) sentences.
All words on the ‘picture puzzles’ only use the sounds ‘s a t p i n’.
Phase 2, set 2 (sounds m d g o c k) is also available (in same design) in my TES shop if you like this one.

Picture/word puzzles
Pages 1 and 2
An adult cuts out the x9 puzzle shapes following dotted lines. The segments of all x9 ‘picture/word puzzles’ can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to match.
Once the segments of each picture/word puzzle are completed each of the x9 words can be read. The completed ‘picture puzzles’ can be used as a reference to complete the missing words for x9 sentences (pages 3-5).
Writing words/reading sentences
Pages 3-6
There are two versions of the same x9 sentences to complete, each has a missing word with a clear space for each of the missing letters (graphemes) to be written. A larger format version of the sentences set out individually (pages 3 and 4) which can be cut up (perhaps laminated) and written on (if laminated - with a dry wipe/wipe clean pen).
The smaller scale version (page 5) has the same x9 sentences but all on one page for learners to complete with a pencil, as a ‘worksheet’.
Answers are included on page 6 in the same format which learners can use for quick, easy reference.

What’s included?
x4 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 Set 1 (letters - m d g o c k). Portrait orientation, pdf format.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce the first six sounds in Phase 2 - s a t p i n AND m d g o c k. Learners sound out the words on the ‘word cards’ and match these to the images on the ‘picture cards’. Answers are clearly presented on pages 3 and 4 for quick easy reference - encouraging learners to be autonomous.
This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set (2) has been designed to be a simple, predictable matching activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first set of letters/sounds introduced. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently or for an adult to use to support learners needing some extra help/to revisit these sounds.
Phase 2, set 1 (sounds s a t p i n) is also available (in same design) in my TES shop if you like this one.
How to use it?
The adult can pre-cut the x16 rectangular shaped picture cards (x8) and word cards (x8) (pages 1 and 2). Grey dotted lines guide where to cut. These x16 cards can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to read and match.
Resource Details…
The words on the word cards only use the letters s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k (from sets 1 AND 2)
These words are:
dog
map
pig
cap
pot
mat
pod
cogs
Learners may find ‘pod’, ‘cogs’ and ‘mat’ more tricky to match as these three words are not as obvious/may be ‘new’ concepts to learners, encouraging learners to think a bit more about the meaning of the words on the cards. E.g. some learners may not know that a ‘pea’ grows inside of a ‘pod’. Learners may not know/be familiar with ‘cogs’ (or know they are called) and learners may confuse ‘cat’ with ‘mat’. I have included an orange arrow pointing to the ‘mat’ to help make this clearer.

These words are:
snap
pin
pants
spin
tin
sit
pan
snip
Learners may find ‘snip’, snap’, ’spin’ and ‘sit’ more tricky to match as these four cards do not link directly to a noun picture card. ‘Snap’ links to a ‘crocodile’, ‘snip’ to ‘scissors’, ’spin’ to a ‘globe’ and ‘sit’ to the cat which is ‘sitting’ on a chair - encouraging learners to think a bit more about the meaning of the words on the cards.

Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support.
What’s it for?
This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce the first twelve sounds in Phase 2 - s a t p i n m d g o c k. Learners match pictures and sounds (as puzzles) to complete images and make a simple words to read.
All words on the ‘picture puzzles’ only use these sounds.
This activity set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first set of letters/sounds introduced. These resources are also ideal to use to revisit these sounds later if learners need some additional support with these.
This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently when these sounds are first introduced as a quieter time activity or for an adult to provide some small group/one to one support revisiting these sounds.
