A set of 10 PowerPoint activities to help prepare your class for the Phonics Screening Check. Each PowerPoint includes 40 words, one on each slide. 20 words are pretend or ‘alien’ words and 20 are real words. They are organised in the same way as the screening check, starting with four simple phase 2 words, before moving on to phase 3, 4 and 5 and concluding with more complex words. Get your class to call out together or choose targeted children to decode the words. Fit in during 5 minute gaps or use during a phonics lesson to make sure your entire class are prepared for the screening check!

This pair of fonts (Soundbuttondots & Soundbuttondashes) allow you to add dots or dashes to your writing to represent sound buttons underneath single sounds, digraphs and trigraphs. There are even special characters included to replicate the sound buttons needed to show the connection between split digraphs. Full disclosure - this is not a perfect ‘does the job for you without you having to think’ kind of font. I don’t have the technology to make the fonts do ligatures and automatically underline digraphs and trigraphs, but I have tried to make it as seamless and easy as I can. By switching between the two fonts, you can choose which letters have dots underneath and which have dashes (the spacing on the dashed letters is already condensed so the dashes form a continuous line), and you can insert special characters (or use the corresponding symbols) to add arrows for split digraphs. WATCH THE VIDEO TO SEE HOW, plus full written instructions included in the pack. To my mind, this font certainly beats printing out a regular copy of work and manually adding all the sound buttons in a black pen, or trying to add dot and dash clipart underneath! We’ve all been there!

There are three roll and name picture game boards that allow your children to create their own pseudonyms names for the aliens. Great practice for the Phonics Screening Check! Roll an alien name Boards 1 to 3 - vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e all with varied initial blends to start the word. Alien name race boards Board 1 -vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e Board 2 -vowel split digraphs a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e & u_e (easier version) Board 3 - vowel digraphs ai, ea, ie, ow, ue Board 4 - digraphs ar , au, ee, or & oe If the children role a six then they can choose their sound to use to create the alien name. EDITABLE VERSIONS INCLUDED **How to play: ** Roll the dice. When it lands on a number look for the sound designated to that number, ask the children to write it on whiteboard and soundout. If correct they can stay on that square of game board. Continue rolling and creating anmes for every alien they land on. For additional rules see rules attached to this resource. Allow children to make up rules! Can be played with 1 or 2 players. Race game can be up to 4 players. Use counters/objects/coins etc as player pieces. I really hope that you and your children get a lot out of playing these games. Any feedback is welcome as I’m always looking to improve resources to support teachers and children to achieve their potential. Thanks
