This is a complete resource pack to teach Phase 5 Alternative spellings in Year 1 aligned with the new curricullum. It includes new updated overview of spellings which should be taught in Year 1. This pack includes spelling rules flashcards, power point with over 2000 slides (created in the same font as phonics screening) and alternative spelling display. Please note that alternative sounds suggested in Letters and Sounds are now out of date. The power point is aimed to teach alternative spellings in a whole class setting. Each lesson takes 20 minutes and follows the structure of a phonics lesson: revisit and review, teach, practise, apply. The list of activities included for each lesson is as follows: Revisit and review recap phase 5 sounds and alternative pronunciations (as this is previous learning children in Year 1 should be secure in) Teach introduce the alternative spelling rule (sounds the same but looks different) Practise read words phoneme count write 5 words with alternative spelling Apply write a sentence choose a correct spelling best bet (which spelling is the most common)

This editable word document includes over 600 nonsense words flashcards for all phase 4 blends. These can be used for interventions or during the lessons.

Children take turns to pull a word from a bucket, if they read it correctly they keep it if not it goes back in the bucket (you can provide children with a timer). Flashcards for other phases will follow shortly.
