This includes two packs:
Phase 3 Phonic Flowers - Display Version
This pack has a flower for each of the Phase 3 sounds apart for ure. The z and zz sound has been combined on one flower. Each flower is in parts and will need cutting out. For long term use print onto card and laminate.
These can be used as part of an interactive display or a table top where children can attach the petals to the correct sound.
Phase 3 Phonic Flowers - Cut and Stick Version
This pack has a flower for each of Phase 3 sounds apart for ure. The z and zz sound has been combined on one flower. They have been designed as a cut and stick activity. Each flower is black and white or uses grey scale to enable cost effective photocopying.
There is a dotted line around each part to make it easier for younger pupils or those with fine motor issues easier to cut. Older or more adapt pupils may want to cut around the thick black lines.

Perfect for practicing blending in preparation for Phonics Screening.
The aliens are unique to Funky Phonics and those who have the same sound but a different way of writing it are the same shaped alien but a different colour, helping to identify sound families. This has carried over from the Phase 3 version.
There is an alien for each sound and 6 sets of underwear (vest and underpants). Vests have real words and the underpants have nonsense words.
ew/ue/u-e have 3 real words for the oo sound and 3 for the yoo sound. The alien words can be used for either.
This resource has been designed to be open ended and used in many ways. Some ideas for how to use are listed below:
Matching – match either vest or underpants or even both to the alien that has the sound that’s in the words.
Pick a pair – match a vest and underpants that contain the same sound. Or match the alien to either the vest or the underpants.
Sorting – sort the alien words from the real words.
Bingo – pick either a vest or underpants and read the word. Hold up the alien whose sound is in the word.
Display – make a washing line, place an alien next to it. Sort out which underwear belongs to him and hang it on the line.
Sound Families - use with the Phase 3 version and match aliens with the same sound. Match the underwear that contains the same sound but different spelling to each other or alien.
A fun way of fitting practicing pseudo words and phonics in your Alien and space topics.

A fun resource to practice pseudo words and phonics that will fit into your Alien or space topics.
There is a board for each phase 3 sound. The board with oo can be used for oo and oo (u). Ideally played in pairs and children can see how many alien families they can cover up.
Ideal for practicing pseudo words for the Year 1 Phonics Screening.
The aim is for children to make their own alien words using a dice and the chart appropriate to the phase they are working on. There is board for Phase 2, 3 and 5 and a recording sheet.
How to play:
Roll the dice. Find the number you have rolled on the first box. Chose a sound and write it on your sheet under 1st.
Roll it again and find the number you have rolled in the second box. Chose a sound and write it under 2nd.
Roll it a last time. Find the number you have rolled in the third box. Chose a sound and write in on your sheet under 3rd.
Ask your partner to read your alien word. If they can read it give them a P. If they can’t give them a X.
Now its your partners turn.
A fantastic way to practice pseudo words for the Year 1 Phonics Screening

This pack contains two charts for Grapheme Phoneme Correspondence. There is one for consonants and one for vowels.
Ideal to keep on tables for using during writing activities.
This game has been designed to be used as revision and interventions. Depending on the focus the cards can be used in different ways (see following pages for details).
Not all the cards need to be used. For example you might wish to revise the trigraphs so you would use the sound and word cards for those and any alien words cards that use those and previous sounds.
For intervention you may want to focus on sounds and words your students need more practice with.
Ideally use with 2 – players. It can be used with a 1-3 or 1-6 dice depending on time and preference.
Covers CVCC, CCVC/CCVCC, CCCVC/CCCVCC and Polysyllabic words.
Can be used as a matching activity, the memory game pairs, write a sentence for the picture or draw a picture for the sentence.
There is a cake for each Phase 2 sound. The sound is on the cherry and the cake case has pictures and/or words that contain that sound. The cake is my own design and each one is different. Each set has different shaped sprinkles in the icing.
