This resource includes letter families for children to practise their formation, this is grouped by families and also single letters. I used it for interventions, homework and Literacy books for children who would mirror certain letters. It also has a power point with all the families and handwriting paper to model formation to children.
I also added A3 mats for each letter family so children can practise three letters at a time, which proved very popular in my class.

Phonics practice tests with QR codes. Simply scan with any smart device and practice. Used it in the classroom so children can easily upload the materials and practice. Also useful for parents evening as a handout, so children can practice at home.
Words that can be used for assessment. Used them with my class in order to identify gaps in their phonics, so I could get them ready for the phonics screening check. Phase 5 coming soon!
This editable word document includes over 300 nonsense words flashcards for all phase 5 sounds. These can be used for interventions or during the lessons. My class enjoys using them as part of a game “Word Bucket”. 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.
