What’s included?
This download includes x2 resources which have been designed to use separately AND together. In total there are x24 pdf sheets, portrait orientation in colour. These resources are designed around the Phase 2 phonics sounds MDGOCK.
One resource is matching grapheme/picture word puzzles - x10 images for the sounds m/d/g/o/c/k.
The second resource involves sounding out these words and writing them - using sounds only in Phases 2 and 3 - perfect to practise and reinforce Phase 2/3 sound knowledge. This (second) resource is differentiated with a more and less supported version depending on your learners’ needs, the difficulty level is identified as an icon at the base of each sheet (right side).
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 set has been designed to practise matching graphemes with images beginning with each sound AND to sound out words (using letters/sounds within Phases 2 and 3) to write them.
Resource 1 Details
Grapheme/picture match puzzles
The tick in each image box (top right) indicates that this image is a word which can be sounded out.
How to use it?
An adult prints out ‘Grapheme/picture match puzzles’ sheet onto card and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate ‘letters/graphemes’ from ‘images’. The set of cut up letters and images can be placed on a table top for learners to match as a ‘two part’ mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the corresponding image.

Resource 2 Details
Writing words resource
Pages 1-2. Learners are to sound out and write the words for the images featured on the sheet, one image per box. These sheets are differentiated - page 1 is easier to complete (than page 2) as lines (to write on) show how many sounds are in each word.
Red lines/letters indicate a sound which may be difficult to hear clearly when the word is spoken, e.g. ‘cricket’ is often said as ‘crickit’ with an ‘i’ sound. Learners may need help with these (red) letters/sounds.
Page 3 clearly shows the answers.
Resource layout
The font used on page 1 is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120. The font is the same type on page 4 - size 40.

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 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?
x2 sheets (x10 picture and x10 word cards) for CVC words focusing on words with the ‘u’ sound. Both sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format.
What’s it for?
This CVC phonics/reading practise activity set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently.
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.
How to use it?
An adult needs to print and pre-cut the cards into rectangles (dotted guide lines make where to cut clear).
The set of cards can be placed on a carpet/table top. Learners read each word by sounding out the individual phonemes, they then match this to the picture from this set. 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.
I will list the words included below -
Blue (Set** u**’)
bun (may be confused with ‘cake’ or ‘cupcake’ though in Yorkshire (where I am from!) this is a ‘bun’!) duck/cup/truck/slug/sun/bug/plug/hut/mug
Sets a/e/i/o are also available in my TES shop. Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed and to help finding a relevant matching card easier.

What’s included?
x2 sheets (x10 picture/CVC word cards) focusing on the ‘a’ sound. Both sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format. Also included are instructions of how to make a ‘Fucntion 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 carpet/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 -
Red (Set a)
cap, cat, crab, map, pan, mat, van, hat, bat, bag, cap.
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 x3 A4, portrait pdf sheet to practise reading and writing CVC words mostly within Phase 2. Three sounds in this set (j, v and w) are Phase 3.
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 activity is interactive and encourages learners to sound out and read simple CVC words and think about what these words mean. Some words of course may have more than one meaning, however for the purpose of this activity I have only provided one illustration for every word. For words which are ‘new’ to them learners may need to work by process of elimination to identify the correct word/picture combination to record this (in writing) on the sheet provided.
Resource Details
The layout includes one ‘CVC wheel’ to make with easy to follow instructions. Once the wheel is assembled once turned different initial letters are revealed to make x9 ‘_et’ CVC words.
ALL words are ‘real’ (not ‘nonsense’) words.
Words/pictures included are:
bet
get
jet (j is a phase 3 sound)
met
net
pet
set
vet (v is a phase 3 sound)
wet (w is a phase 3 sound)
Differentiation
Also included is one sheet in two levels of difficulty. The first sheet only has the initial sound missing (easier), the second sheet has ALL letters missing - for learners to write on the lines provided (more challenging). The level of difficulty is indicated by an icon at the base of each sheet (right side) - green for easier, red for more challenging.
There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of each sheet (left side). The CVC phonics wheel can be reused time and again.
Suggestion
I suggest printing and making the phonics wheel out of card which is stronger so more robust than paper and easier to turn.

What’s included?
This download includes four A4, pdf sheets (portrait) to practise handwriting x6 lowercase letters.
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 and dots on top of each letter provide guidance of where exactly to write.
Set 2
This set includes x6 letters - m, d, g, o, c, k.
There are four designs, each numbered and each slightly differently according to the design and level that best suits your learner/s. The numbers 1 - 4 (at the top of each sheet) and the cover image left to right shows the levels in order of easiest (1 - most support, less challenge) to hardest (4 - least support, more challenge).
The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.
Each set of letters has been included on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.
There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name.
Page 1
Learners have one set (row) of each letter/sound to write - using the starting dot and dotted lines (on top of each pale grey letter shape) as a guide.
Page 2
Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes the same (grey) letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot and without the dotted line guides. Letters ‘o’ and ‘c’ share the line between them due to limited space.
Page 3
Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes some grey letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot. There is also a blank space for learners to write their own letters after this for every letter. Letters ‘o’ and ‘c’ share the line between them due to limited space.
Page 4
Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line is a blank line for learners to write each letter without any scaffolding support. Letters ‘o’ and ‘c’ have one line each due to limited space.

What’s included?
x2 sheets (x10 picture/CVC word cards) focusing on the ‘e’ 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…

What’s included?
This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting numerals 1 to 12.
Who’s it for?
I designed this resource to break down each step involved in writing these twelve numerals correctly, using green (go!) starting dots and red (stop!) dots to make it clear to learners exactly where to begin and end writing. Support (colour coded) arrows also guide learners on which direction to follow. This resource should help provide some focused additional support looking at these numerals more closely.
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. Each letter has clear ‘starting’ and ‘ending’ dots so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly 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 all completed sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time…
