Set of bingo cards of basic 2d and 3d shapes. Enough cards for whole class if working in pairs. Squares have been made the same size as square post it notes so that children can stick post its over the shapes and the teacher can easily lift the flap and see if they are right. Alternatively, if laminated, children can mark of with whiteboard pens. I use real shapes in a bag which I pull out, then children mark off the ones they have.

A brightly coloured set of 50 flashcards designed to prepare children for the Y1 phonics screening check. The cards are based on the previous years screening checks but are different non words so can be used alongside previous years resources as additional practice. All relevant sounds are incorporated into the words and each flashcard has a different character to capture the interest of the children and get them used to reading non words accurately. Please note that if you have purchased the 'My Alien Friends' resource, these flashcards will contain duplicates.

Print out and cut down the middle then fold so that there is a red face on one side and green on the other , then laminate. Each child has one in front of them at the beginning of a task and can turn it over if they get stuck. You can easily see the ed faces and who needs help. I encourage children to help each other if they have a green face but a friend has a red one. Saves lots of hands up and constant calling out.

A very useful set of 5 PPT presentations to display clearly on the IWB and quickly move through them instead of flipping flashcards. Of course if you do wish to use them as flashcards, you could easily print off the slides. There is an illustrated 'imaginary creatures' PPT with pseudo words based on previous phonics screening materials. Each word is forst displayed without the sound buttons then with to enable children to try to apply their sound knowledge independently then 'sound out' together as a class/group. The remaining 4 PPT presentations contain all of the real words that have been used in the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 phonics screening checks. They have been split into section 1 and section 2 as they are in the actual papers. There are 2 versions of each section, one with sound buttons and the other without. Having the complete variations of sections 1 and 2 and with and without sound buttons offers lots of ways to differentiate between groups of at different times of the year as the new sounds are veing taught.

A slightly adapted version of a resource contributed by another user 'essc&'. I have reformatted slightly and added Cornish to use with my year 2 class.
