A variety of mock phonics check words to practise on

A variety real and alien words I've used with my class. Laminate and cut out. Children to sort words, add sound buttons to words or find the real words to use in a sentence.

I use two sound strips to support my Year 1 class in their writing at their tables - I borrowed these from the school I did my training placement at, so I cannot take credit for them! The first contains all the sounds your class need to phonetically attempt any word. The second sound strip colour groups different ways to make the same sound. I have also included the word doc I use to assess which sounds the children can read and write. These assessments help inform my teaching in the lead up to the phonics screening test.

I use these in my Year 1 class. I stick them onto card (colour coded to their groups) and write on individual targets. The children have them on their tables during Big Write and at the end of the session they show me their work and together we read back the target and decide if they get a 'tick&'. If they achieve 5 tick they get a class reward, have achieved their target and I stick another target over it - just a tab at the top so you can still see their previous targets. Ofsted love them.
