What’s included? What is it?! This download includes two A4, pdf sheet (portrait) to practise handwriting Phase 3 ‘tricky words’ - be, he, she, me, we, my, you, her, here, are, they, all, was. 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 each 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 the sheet there is also a space to further practise writing each of these words twice 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). Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available! Feedback of this resource would be wonderful! Thank you!

What/Who is it for? These labels have been designed with an eye catching image to help young learners recognise their items when they are maybe not yet familiar with recognising their name. Learners could choose their image at the start of the school year/term and this image/label design could be used consistently on their books/personal tray/storage cubby/coat peg. These labels could also be ideal for older learners (with a particular interest) who would benefit from the additional visual aid to support their educational needs. Or! They can be used as you choose… Resource details There are x5 themed sets, x12 unique images/labels per sheet all available with black borders OR coloured. Each label includes the words 'This belongs to’ with a horizontal line to write/stick each child’s name on. Font is Sassoon Infant Std, size 20. Label size Each label is approximately W 9cm/10cm x H 4.5cm/5cm (depending on size of a white border kept when cut out).

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’. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you!

What’s included? x5 pages, landscape orientation in colour to investigate the concepts ‘BIG’ and ‘small’. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years aged children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource Details Page 1 is a visual reference sheet which could be used for display purposes but has been designed to be used as a point of discussion about what ‘BIG’ and ‘small’ means… As a teacher/adult led discussion learners could explore what the concepts ‘big ‘ and ‘small’ mean. There are x9 pairs of images displayed on page 1, each showing items that are (when compared to each other in the ‘real world’) ‘big’ or ‘small’. Learners could first work together to identify what the big and small item is in each pair. The images shown for comparison and discussion are: the world (big) with a space rocket (small) a table (big) with a cup (small) a factory (big) with a bike (small) a tower block (big) with a person/woman (small) a flower (big) with a bee (small) a plate (big) with a pea (small) a tree (big) with a bird (small) an elephant (big) with a mouse (small) mountains (big) with a person hiking (small) Once the big/small item in each pair has been identified learners could go on to consider mixing up the items in the pictured pairs - e.g. if the ‘elephant’ was compared with the ‘world’ instead of the ‘mouse’ which would be big and which would be small? The images on pages 2 and 3 could be used as a matching activity for learners to think about and explore this further. Pages 2 and 3 are for learners to use to record three sets of pairs of items that are (when compared with each other in the real world) BIG or small. The BIG item in each pair is the be positioned on the right and the small item in each pair is to be positioned on the left. There are three spaces (for three pairs) on page 2 and page 3, learners could complete two pages (2 and 3!) Pages 4 and 5 display the images from page 1 ready to be cut up (dotted lines guide where to cut) and placed in pairs on pages 2 and 3 (or page 6). Learners could pair up the images as featured on page 1 (see this list of big/small pairs above) OR learners could pair the images differently. However the learners pair up the images the idea is to pair one BIG and one small item when thinking about the size of these items in the ‘real world’ and not the size of the image as pictured on these sheets. This may confuse some learners and they will really need to think about these items/images carefully where pairing a big and small image together before securing them with glue on pages 2/3/6. Page 6 provides an opportunity for learners to draw and label their own (real world) BIG and small images.

What’s included? This download includes one simple, predictable alphabet rhyme for the letter ‘h’ - in colour AND black and white (so x2 sheets in total). This rhyme has been set out landscape orientation - the complete ‘alphabet set’ is available in my TES shop! What’s it for? This rhyme is part of an alphabet set (of the same layout) and has been designed for learners to practise reading simple words (images make noun-words clear) and each rhyme practises one phonic sound - this rhyme focuses on ‘h’. How to use it? Using a pointer (or pointy finger!) learners point to each word/sound as they say/sing it out loud, some rhymes are more ‘silly’ than others(!) In this rhyme the horses wear the hats! This is a unique, fun and engaging way to practise reading and phonics that all learners will enjoy. These rhymes also provide a great opportunity to practise using one to one correspondence - an important early reading skill. 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, revisiting any/all of these sounds and practising reading using one to one correspondence. Resource Details The layout of every letter/sound rhyme is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent. The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 50, so a good, ‘easy to read’ size. This rhyme is - Hats on horses h, h, h. Hats on horses h, h, h. Hats on horses h, h, h. Hats on horses! Suggestions Learners might like to practise reading these on their own, in pairs or small groups or even as a class during a whole carpet session, reading/singing along together. I recommend printing out the colour versions of these (the colours look so lovely!) and laminating each rhyme to help keep them in good condition. You may wish to introduce these rhymes alongside learning these sounds for the first time and have a set (e.g. of x6) of every rhyme printed out and laminated for groups to use as an extension/quiet activity. Or, these rhymes may be good to introduce later to recap on some sounds which may be proving to be more tricky to remember. My classes of early years and year one children were really motivated to use these and very good at practising them quietly to themselves using ‘whispery voices’ (so cute!) I found that all learners really enjoyed using these with a ‘pointer’ which I had a pot of (pointers!) stored with the rhymes, ready to use.

What’s included? This pdf download includes x4 landscape orientation sheets featuring every letter (and full word labels) to make the two words ‘Hello’ and ‘Welcome’ with clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate letters/words for (window) display. What’s it for? These letters have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the letters look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the coloured letter shape ‘falls’ depends on the position of the letters in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes. These letters/words are ideal for displaying on a glass panel on a classroom door, offering a different and interesting ‘welcome’ to visitors to your classroom/learning space and obviously encourage learners to recognise and read these words. I have included the full set of alphabet letters as a separate listing in my TES shop. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two though would suit any window where those who see the letters/words would appreciate a pop of colour shining through letters/words when the sun comes out! Resource Details The letters are all in the font ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 220-250, so a clear, ‘easy to read’ size. There are x4 pages. The first page includes clear step-by-step instructions and the remaining pages includes the separate letters to make the words ‘Welcome’ and ‘Hello’ (with exclamation marks!) The last page (4) includes the two words as one-word labels. Suggestions I recommend printing and making these letters out of white card - paper would be too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are pretty inexpensive on Amazon(!) In addition I recommend also backing every letter/each word in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much sharper on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time.

These letters have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the letters look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the coloured letter shape ‘falls’ depends on the position of the letters in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes throughout the day. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole alphabet together to encourage learners to recognise and name each letter (and sound) and practise ordering the letters of the alphabet (depending on how they are displayed). The letters can of course be repositioned to create words and labels as you choose. I have included ‘labels’ for the words ‘Hello’ and ‘Welcome’ as a separate listing in my TES shop - these could be good for displaying on a glass panel on a classroom door where you meet and greet parent/carers. This resource supports work on shadows, light/dark and better understanding the shape of lowercase letters to develop greater recognition. Who’s it for?

A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are quite inexpensive on Amazon(!) I recommend also backing every letter in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed within the card - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time (and card!) to create. If made well the first time these could last years and create a very beautiful addition, offering inspiration in any learning space.

What’s included? This download includes three A4, portrait pdf sheet to practise reading and writing CVC words all made using letters within Phase 2. 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. Resource Details The layout includes x2 wheels, one for the ‘front’ (wheel 1) and one for the back - with the x2 sets of vowels on (wheel 2). Once assembled (according to instructions included on the pdf) the ‘CVC Phonics Wheel’ can be turned to reveal one vowel in the centre of the two consonants displayed/written on the front of the wheel. The wheel can be turned clockwise or anticlockwise, the direction doesn’t matter. Some words will be ‘real’ e.g. den//hen/men/pen and some words will not be real (will be ‘nonsense’) words e.g. len/ren. Real/nonsense words made can be written on page 3. There is space for x10 real and x10 nonsense words to be written here and a clear space for learners to write their name (at the base of the sheet). Suggestion For older, more able learners this activity could be linked to looking up new words in the dictionary to find out if they are/are not real words and if they are ‘real’ words e.g. ‘fen’ find out what their meanings are (Fen is used to refer to an area of low, flat, wet land, especially in the east of England) - so now you know!

What’s included? This download includes x3 A4 portrait pdf sheets. These include three dice to make, x2 ‘game cards’ and simple, clear instructions for how to play the game. Red Die 1 (page 1) Includes sounds s b h m p r Amber Die 2 (page 2) Includes sounds a a e i o u Green Die 3 (page 2) Includes sounds ck d g ll n t How to use this resource An adult needs to cut out and make the three phonics dice - clear instructions are included. Each player will need one game card (and a pencil!) There are two game cards included on page 3 - these can be printed/photocopied as many times as needed and the sheet cut in half to separate the two game cards (one per player). This game can be for one learner to play alone or for several learners to play together in a group (taking turns). The game instructions are included on pages 1 and 3 of the download - I will also include them here: How to play game Each player takes turns to roll the three dice together. Each player places the three dice next to each other, left to right - red, amber, green. Player sounds out the graphemes to read the word. If this is a ‘real’ word player writes it in the coloured boxes on their card (on the ‘left’ side). If this is a ‘nonsense’ word the player writes this word in the coloured boxes on their card (on the right side). Play passes to next player. If a player rolls the same combination as previously rolled they can have another turn. First player to roll (read and write!) x5 real OR nonsense words wins! There are various words which can be made using this combination of letters in the set order. Some ‘real word’ examples include sat/bat/hat/mat/pat/rat, pig/bill/hill/mill/pill, pull/bug/hug/mug/rug, sock/rock/hog, hen/men/pen/red/bell/sell. I hope you have fun finding them all - real AND nonsense! 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. Important message… ANY issues with this phonics dice game please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes AND I am happy to create a new resource if you have an idea just let me know - I’d really love to hear from you! Feedback of these resources and this phonics game would be wonderful! Thank you!

What’s included? This download includes four A4, portrait pdf sheets to make x4 phonics fans featuring all sounds in Phase 2. Red Set 1 (page 1) Includes sounds s a t p i n Orange Set 2 (page 2) Includes sounds m d g o c k Yellow Set 3 (page 3) Includes sounds ck e b r u h Green Set 4 (page 4) Includes sounds f ff l ll ss How to use this resource As all letter sounds for Phase 2 are included here all letters can be combined onto one ring as one set. I have included ‘covers’ for each individual set incase the preference is to split the sets. A ‘cover’ for ALL sounds is included on page 4. Phonics fans can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. Learners can use these phonics fans as a personal reference resource to cross-check the correct grapheme or orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. Phonics fans can also be used for a variety of games and to involve learners during sound rhymes and songs. These fans are a great size to fit into a pocket or clip onto a lanyard to be accessed both inside the classroom and outdoors. 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. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic. These could be ideal should you wish learners to access the contents of the ring (e.g. to order the sounds) and come in a variety of colours. Alternatively I have found standard metal keyrings also work well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the keyring. I recommend that each letter is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf.
