EYFS Reading Records - Individual Tracking Sheet linked to Development Matters

(0)
A one page Reading Record for Reception aged pupils, featuring the ‘Development Matters’ reading statements for 30-50 months, 40-60 months and the Early Learning Goal. There is space for teacher comments and logging the dates and books read each week. In my Reception class we have a reading folder for the whole class. Every child gets one of these sheets either half-termly or termly, to document their progression and to support assessment. Practitioners write comments by the side and date when steps are achieved. Having the Development Matters statements easily to hand helps prompt practitioners to further children’s learning and plan for their ‘next steps’.

2 Resources
Picture Spotters for use in Phonic lessons. Initial Sound Picture Spotters: These initial sound posters are filled with objects that start with each letter’s sound. Each ‘sound room’ has at least 10 pictures or objects starting with that sound. We have found these really useful to use at the beginning of Phonics lessons when we are introducing a new sound. All sounds from A-Z are covered. Download includes Powerpoint and PDF versions. Digraph/Trigraph Picture Spotters: These digraph/trigraph picture spotters are filled with objects that contain each sound (Phase 3 digraphs and trigraphs and Read Write Inc Set 2 sounds) .

CVC Word Trails - Blending activity for reading intervention (Phase 2)

(0)
A selection of 20 different word cards, designed to support early reading of Phase 2 CVC words. Letters are laid along a ‘trail’, with the full word blended together at the end. We have found these incredibly useful as a phonics intervention activity. We encourage children to use their finger to trace the trail and blend the sounds together as they are reading. They are also great laminated for display, or as a reading activity that children can access independently in the book corner. Words included: tap, sit, pan, pig, mop, cat, map, cot, pen, mug, bag, hat, dog, fox, ten, jam, log, red, van, fish.

Alphabet Display Posters - Phonics Letter Formation

(0)
These A-Z display posters feature letter formation rhymes and use photo-realistic images for each sound instead of clipart - to support younger pupils, EAL and SEN learners who benefit more from real-life imagery. Each sound is on its own A4 sheet.
Letter Formation Videos - Powerpoint
EYFSResourcesEYFSResources

Letter Formation Videos - Powerpoint

(0)
These Powerpoint files contain videos for each letter in the alphabet, modelling how to form those letters correctly. You will receive two Powerpoint files - one where each letter is modelled by a real hand, handwriting, and the other where the letter formation is animated. We have found these videos incredibly useful within both Phonics and Handwriting sessions, as they allow students to view a continuous loop of correct letter formation when practising themselves. You may either use the Powerpoints as standalone sessions - viewed in Slideshow mode, the first slide allows you to click on which letter you would like to practise, and you are then taken to the slide for that letter where the video is looped for pupils to copy. Alternatively, if teaching a specific letter in a Phonics session, you could add the video file to your own Powerpoint and play the formation as and when is appropriate for your class. Please note that both Powerpoints contain two versions for the letters ‘k’ and ‘f’ - looped and unlooped/straight and curved. Simply move forward to the next slide to use the one relevant to your setting.
