Writing Phase 2 words (x2 levels)

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

rat
bag

More challenging sheet

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)

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.
