I am a KS1 teacher with experience in Leeds, Wakefield, Nottingham and Preston. Currently teaching year 1 in Northampton.
I found a huge lack of suitable resources, so instead of creating quick resources to use and chuck, I dedicated my time to creating quality resources based on what my classroom needed.
Everything I sell has been used in my own classroom, is based on the national curriculum/letters and sounds phonics scheme, and is presented to a high quality.

Phonics display for phases 2,3,4 and 5.
Contains:
27 monster pictures and frames.
23 Phase 2 sound cards.
27 Phase 3 sound cards.
30 Phase 4 blend cards.
14 Phase 5 sound cards (not including split digraphs).
All you need to do is put squares of velcro on the frames and on the back of the sound cards and your littlies can create and read as many nonsense names as they like!
This is currently up in my classroom. I let my littlies choose the monsters that went up and they have a whale of a time making silly names in their spare moments.
Speedy Readies!
The more your littlies practice reading a word, the more likely they are to remember it and recognise it in sentences.
Give them tonnes of fluency practice by using these Speedy Readies!
Just put your littlies in pairs, assign each a colour (either green or blue) and get them to read their coloured words in order. Give them a minute to see how far they can read, then try again to see if they can beat it. They'll get plenty of practice saying each word, stronger readers can lead the weaker, and they have loads of fun trying to beat their time.
Use in phonics lessons, literacy centres, word work sessions, as guided reading prompts or as assessment to see which words you littlies need more practice with.
This pack contains all 100 of the second 100 HFW / sight words, split into four Speedy Ready sheets.
The pack includes:
- Instructions and tips for playing.
- Four Speedy Ready sheets.

Repetition is brilliant for children to practice recognising phonemes, graphemes and phonics sounds. Let them practice these skills in context by providing them with fluency sentences. Read them over and over to build up recognition of phonemes and sounds in words, and to help your littlies build up their confidence with full sentences.
