6 activities to support teaching of the ey sound and other sounds in the ee family

Planning tree where the roots are used to put the learning objectives for the unit and branches are the activities. A lovely way to plan and share your medium term plans with the children.

These are used in vocabulary lessons to develop understanding. Two differentiated word mats for different abilities.

These activities have been created and are dated in the order they are taught. Great sheets for EAL children so that they understand what they are trying to spell.

Activities to support children in distinguishing the first two consonants of a word.

I have made these resources for my class for the children who always get stuck on the trickier sounds from Phase 5. They practice in class and I have also sent these home. Great to play matching games etc too!

This is a three week unit on Jack and the Beanstalk based loosely on the talk for writing objectives too. It includes work on story mountains, grammar work and vocabulary. Any questions please ask

This is a two week unit plan aimed at FS/Year 1 class. It has resources linked to the planning attached. I have also added art and DT ideas too.

These assessments cover all areas of the spelling curriculum in Year 1. It also has a scoring system so you can compare progress from one term to the next and also identify the next steps in the teaching of spelling with your class.

A great termly resource that covers all areas of the spelling curriculum in year 2. It identifies strengths and areas to develop within your cohort and is also a good tool to show progress in this area.

This was a non fiction unit based on a trip to the local beach. In this bundle I have included a print out of the text, a powerpoint and also a reading comprehension linked to the text. I have included lots of common exception words in the text to support spelling assessment.

Termly word reading assessment which covers all the different words children should be able to read by the end of Year 2. I did these assessments on a termly basis and scored each area to show strengths and next teaching points across the cohort. Also great to show impact on reading interventions that you may do!

These are used to ensure children can read the range of words across the KS1 curriculum. Year 2 assessments are different each term and you can give a score for each area of the curriculum to identify strengths and weaknesses. I have also created a spelling assessment along the same lines. Please see the other bundle for this.

This is a non-fiction unit using the story “When Granny went to Market” where she flies around the world on a magic carpet visiting different countries. The class all jumped on a flying carpet (rug) and we visited different countries with props too. Planning resources and powerpoints all included.

Alternative pronunciations for graphemes can be introduced with these activities e.g. ea in tea, head and break.

These were used for children to take home with their reading books. Can be adapted to suit individual children's needs. I have also created common exception word bookmarks and other words to read in another bundle e.g suffixes and contractions

I created these texts to support children when introducing them to guided reading. They are texts based around book bands pink - blue. I would share these in a group - maybe give them a page each or create mini booklets and then after the guided session would display these books/ posters in the provision to encourage independent reading. There are books on space, pets, winter and adding up. Please use this template also to create your own!!

I created these to support children with the tricky sounds with pseudo words. Children take these pseudo word cards home to practise and I have also created matching games with these cards. Please reuse this template to change the sounds/words too!!
