What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one ‘Remembrance Day’ word search (page 1). The answers on page 2 clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) to promote autonomy whilst providing easy comparison/quick reference.
Other seasonal wordsearches including Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, Harvest Festival, Halloween, Bonfire Night and other seasonal celebrations are also available in my TES shop.
Who’s it for?
This word search has been designed for pupils in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support.
Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.
The Remembrance Day words have been organised into four groups of four, clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x19 words to find in total and nouns are illustrated on page 1.
These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (backwards). Words to find are; bugle, cross, eleven, november, died, line of duty (no space), remember, sad, silence, hero, honour, medal, serve, soldier, memorial, poppy, red, war and wreath.
Recommendations
I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.

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?
This download includes x5 sheets. x4 in portrait orientation, x1 in landscape orientation, all 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 includes two simple, predictable activities 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.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these words for the first time, pupils in years one and two who need some practise/reinforcement of these words. This resource is also suitable for older learners with additional learning needs.
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. When completing the cut/match sheet learners may be able to cut out the words (at the base of each sheet) themselves.
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.
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

This download includes x12 sheets, x9 in portrait orientation/x3 in landscape orientation, all pdf format.
What’s it for?
This activity bundle has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the first 100/200 high frequency words. This set is ‘nouns’ which can be read by sounding out the words as well as matching each word with its corresponding image.
This includes four simple, predictable activities 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.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in years one and two 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?
An adult can pre-cut along dotted lines provided and the set of x45 words (and images) can be shuffled and placed face-up on the carpet/a table top for learners to read and match. The cut/match sheets learners may be able to cut out the words (at the base of each sheet) themselves.
Resource Details…
These words are all from the first 100/200 high frequency word lists.
In the ‘word box’ at the top-right there is a coloured triangle. The colour indicates which phonics phase this word fits in with. Pink triangles indicate that the words are from ‘phase 2’, purple triangles indicate that the words are from ‘phase 3’ and turquoise triangles indicate that the words are from ‘phase 5’. The ‘key’ at the top of each sheet also makes this colour coded system clear.
In the cut/match sheets the same colour coding has been used - a pink box outline for words from phase 2, a purple box outline for words from phase 3, a turquoise box outline for words in phase 5 and a grey box outline for words in phase 6+.
You can use this colour coding to help you introduce the words (and cut/match sheets) according to which phonics level your learner/s is/are at.
Red letters indicate ‘tricky’ part/s where, e.g. the sound may be pronounced differently depending on dialect. Alternatively, the sound may have more than one of the same letter (and sound) which is possible to sound out but irregular. For example in the word ‘eggs’ the second ‘g’ is red yet both ‘g’s’ are underlined together.
The underline indicates the number of sounds. Where two letters are underlined together - these two letters (together) have one sound. For example in the word ‘fish’ the ‘f’ is underlined on its own, ‘i’ is underlined on its own and ‘sh’ is underlined with the ‘s’ and ‘h’ together - this word therefore has four letters but three sounds, f, i , sh.
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.
The small, white tick (top-left of each image box) indicates that these words are intended to be sounded out.
The words on sheets 1 to 9 have been arranged in alphabetical order.

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 pdf download includes x3 landscape orientation sheets featuring x7 colour ‘splats’ with colour name labels with clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate/cellophane colours for (window) display.
What’s it for?
These colours have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the coloured shapes look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the colour ‘falls’ depends on the position of the colours in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole set of colours together as a focus to encourage learners to recognise and name each colour. The colours can of course be repositioned and displayed as you choose. I have included a ‘Colours!’ label to be displayed with the set of shapes.
This resource would also support work on shadows and light/dark.
Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students who would appreciate a pop of colour shining through when the sun comes out!
Resource Details
The colours all have a colour name label which is in the font ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 45. There are x3 pages. The first page includes clear instructions with two colours, the second page includes remaining colours in the set and the last page the ‘Colours!’ word label.
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 quite inexpensive on Amazon(!)
I recommend also backing every colour in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time and to do this x6 sheets of A4 white card will be needed (instead of x3 sheets).

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.
Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed up.
Words included in each set are -
Red (Set a)
cap, cat, crab, map, pan, mat, van, hat, bat, bag (Phase 3 sounds v)
Orange (Set e)
