What’s included? This download includes two A4, pdf sheets (portrait) to practise handwriting the days of the week (in order). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details Both versions included have clear starting dots as well as ‘tracing dots’ to follow for every letter. On one the learner writes onto a pale grey which shows each letter shape, on the other the learner writes onto a white letter with a clear grey outline defining each letter shape, encouraging/guiding learners to remain ‘within the lines’. The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100. This activity has been designed to write straight on. Lines (under each day of the week) are included to model how letters look when positioned on a line. There is a clear space at the base of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space at the top (right) to record the number date (to help keep track of progress, over time if these completed activity sheets are kept).

What’s included? x6 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 Set 2 (letters - m d g o c k). Landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce the next six sounds in Phase 2 - m d g o c k. Learners match pictures and sounds (as puzzles) to complete images and make a simple words to read. Learners can then use these completed puzzles to fill out missing words in sentences (either separate sentences or all sentences on one sheet) to complete, then read whole (simple) sentences. All words on the ‘picture puzzles’ only use the sounds ‘m d g o c k’. Phase 2, set 1 (sounds s a t p i n) is also available (in same design) in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use it? Picture/word puzzles Pages 1 and 2 An adult cuts out the x10 puzzle shapes following dotted lines. The segments of all x10 ‘picture/word puzzles’ can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to match. Once the segments of each picture/word puzzle are completed each of the x9 words can be read. The completed ‘picture puzzles’ can be used as a reference to complete the missing words for x10 sentences (pages 3-5). Writing words/reading sentences Pages 3-6 There are two versions of the same x10 sentences to complete, each has a missing word with a clear space for each of the missing letters (graphemes) to be written. A larger format version of the sentences set out individually (pages 3 and 4) which can be cut up (perhaps laminated) and written on (if laminated - with a dry wipe/wipe clean pen). The smaller scale version (page 5) has the same x10 sentences but all on one page for learners to complete with a pencil, as a ‘worksheet’. Answers are included on page 6 in the same format which learners can use for quick, easy reference. *Resource Details… Pages 3-6 The sentences include high frequency words ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘this’, ‘is’, ‘go’, ‘on’, ’can’. ‘A pink _ _ _’. (pig) (‘pink’ can be sounded out) ‘This is a hot _ _ _ ‘. (pot) (‘h’ in ‘hot’ may not have been introduced yet) ‘This is a _ _ _ ‘. (dog) ‘The _ _ _ _ can spin‘. (cogs) (‘spin’ can be sounded out) ‘Peas in a _ _ _ ‘. (pod) (‘peas’ may be tricky) ‘This _ _ _ can go on top’. (cap) The question ‘Where do we put a cap?’ could be asked (on top of a head!) ‘A cat sat on the _ _ _ ‘. (mat) (‘cat’ can be sounded out) ‘The spade can _ _ _ ‘. (dig) *‘The _ _ _ can stand’. (man) *‘This is a _ _ _’. (map) Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? This download includes x5 pdfs, portrait in colour each featuring ten images that all begin with one sound - h, l, m, n, r. What’s it for? This resource is to enable learners to practise identifying the first (initial) sound (phoneme) of objects (images) and match these with the correct, matching letter (grapheme). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support, revisiting any/all of these sounds. How to use it? An adult prints each sheet out (ideally onto card) and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate the ‘letters’ from the ‘images’ (instructions are included on each sheet itself). These pieces (images and letters) can then be placed on a table top for learners to match - the image with the matching/correct initial letter sound as a two part mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the images which have the same initial letter. I have grouped the letters of the alphabet together. This sheet is part of the ‘Green Set’ and designed to be used with letters h, l, m, n, r. Exploring this set together gives learners the opportunity to become more familiar with these letters by looking at them more closely. Other sets in this same design are coming. This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising these letters and identifying the correct initial letter (phonics) sound for ten images (per letter). Resource Details The images chosen all have a clear initial letter sound at the beginning but are not words which can easily be sounded out. The focus of this activity is purely to identify the initial letter sound for these images - the cross (top right of each image) indicates that these images are not to be sounded out. The layout of every letter/sound in this set is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent. Resource layout The font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120, so a large, ‘easy to read’ size. The images included for each letter are: h house heart head headphones holiday hotel honey hive horse hoodie l lion lemur ladybird (on a leaf) leaf life jacket lime lightening lighthouse lead (for dog walking) lava m microscope mouse moustache mayonnaise microphone mountains monkey months (including March and May) megaphone moose n needle nurse nose newspaper narwhal nectarine noodles notebook necklace nine (including x9 nine sided ‘nonagon’ shapes) r rabbit radio ruler rattle robot rhinoceros rubbish recycle/recycling and recycling rubbish truck record on record player rectangle Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? This download includes x4 pdfs, portrait, in colour each featuring ten/five images that all begin with one sound - j, v, w, x, y, z. Images for ‘x’ do NOT ‘begin’ with ‘x’ ! I have researched words beginning with ‘x’ and none have a clear initial ‘x’ sound, therefore for all ‘x’ images the ‘x’ sound is at the END of these words. X is the ONLY letter where the sound is at the end. What’s it for? This resource is to enable learners to practise identifying the first (initial) sound (phoneme) of objects (images) and match these with the correct, matching letter (grapheme). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support, revisiting any/all of these sounds. How to use it? An adult prints each sheet out (ideally onto card) and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate the ‘letters’ from the ‘images’ (instructions are included on each sheet itself). These pieces (images and letters) can then be placed on a table top for learners to match - the image with the matching/correct letter sound as a two part mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the images which have the matching letter sound. I have grouped the letters of the alphabet together. This sheet is part of the ‘Blue Set’ and designed to be used with letters j, v, w, x, y, z. Exploring this set together gives learners the opportunity to become more familiar with these letters by looking at them more closely. Other sets in this same design are available.

What’s included? Two resources (to be used together) are included to download, both in portrait orientation, pdf format. There are x7 sheets of ‘Counting in 10’s cards’ (x7 colours) and x7 matching ‘Counting in 10’s Matching boards’ to position the cards on in order and to count. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as older students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable as a challenge for some early years aged children. What is it? This is a simple activity which can be used by pupils on their own (as an independent group activity) or as a game for up to 7 players. This activity/game can be used/played in various ways to practise and reinforce counting in 10’s to 100. The simple, clear instructions are included on the cards and boards. Resource Details ’Counting in 10’s cards’ There are x7 different coloured sets of cards, these include red, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink and grey. ‘Ways to use these cards’ are included on each sheet. The cards can be cut out and used to practise ‘counting in 10’s’. The 10’s numbers on the cards are Size 50 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font making the numbers easy to read and the simple layout with ten fingers featured on every card make counting in 10’s visually clear to learners. ’Counting in 10’s - Matching boards’ There are x7 different coloured ‘matching boards’ which have been designed to pair up with the sets of ‘Counting in 10’s cards’. Colours included match the cards and are red, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink and grey. Game instructions are included on each board. Games to play The cards could be used in a variety of ways. Below are some suggestions… Reveal, order, count The cards can be sorted into colours and shuffled. Each player has one coloured set. Cards are placed face-down in a grid (in the centre of players) and players take turns to turn over one card. If a player reveals their own colour that card is kept. The winner is the first player to collect all x10 cards in their colour set and position these in the correct order from 10 to 100. This game can be played with/without the ‘matching boards’. Treasure hunt These cards could be used for a coloured ‘treasure hunt’ where one set of cards is hidden within a specified area for learners to find. Learners then order the cards to 100 (once all colours in the set have been found).

What’s included? What is it?! This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait) to practise handwriting six Phase 2 ‘tricky words’ - I, the, to, no, go, into. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Resource details This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin. The six words have each been repeated three times (in three columns) left to right. There are clear, visual, instructions at the top of the sheet, in three parts (left to right). In the centre (at the top) the colour order to follow is clearly illustrated, guiding learners to begin with dark green, follow light green, pale yellow, mid yellow, orange and then red to ‘stop’. Not all letters have enough steps to follow through using all of these colours. This resource has been designed for learners to write one word at a time, gradually reducing the level of support provided (left to right). E.g. learners begin with the word on the left (in the first column) and once they have written this they move onto the same word, to the right (in the centre/column two). Lastly learners write the same word a third time on the right (column three). The first word (column one) has a green (‘go’) starting dot, coloured arrows around the outside of each letter to show the direction to move the pencil from the beginning to the end red (‘stop’) dot. The second word (column two) also includes a green starting (‘go’) dot and red (‘stop’) dot as well as one arrow per letter making clear the initial direction the pencil should move in. The third word (column three) includes a dark grey starting dot and light grey stop dot for each letter. Learners will need to use the knowledge they have learnt from writing each word twice before to complete writing ‘word three’ more independently. At the base of the sheet there is also a space to further practise writing each of these words twice and smaller (each positioned on a line). The words at the base of the sheet only have a grey starting dot to help learners. There is a clear space at the lowest edge of the sheet for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheet (right side) a space for the number date - helpful to keep track of progress if learners revisit this activity if needed. The font used in the coloured boxes is Sassoon Infant Std - size 65. The words at the base of the sheet are the same font but smaller - size 40.

What’s included? This download includes x2 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the (similar shaped) lowercase letters l, t, i, j. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. These resources have been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing letters which are visually similar. This resource set should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together, reinforcing the correct way of writing letters with similar shapes. Resource details The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100. This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write. I have grouped these letters into pairs - l/t and i/j. There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the number date at the top, right of the sheet, helpful to keep completed sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time. All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.

This resource is to enable learners to practise identifying the first (initial) sound (phoneme) of objects (images) and match these with the correct, matching letter (grapheme). I have grouped the letters of the alphabet together. This sheet is part of the ‘Orange Set’ and designed to be used with letters b, d, g, p and q. I have grouped these letters of the alphabet together according to their similar ‘shape’ and as I know confusing b and d can be a common issue for learners. Exploring this set together gives learners the opportunity to become more familiar with these letters by looking at them more closely. Other sets in this same design are available. Who’s it for?

What’s included? This download includes x8 A4 pdf sheets (portrait orientation) which includes an activity sheet and answers for ALL sounds in Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has kept little hands very busy and focused (for me!) I hope the same will be true for you! This has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently. Phase 3 (x5 sets) in same design is also available in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use it? Each learner needs to cut out and match two ‘phoneme pictures’ to every grapheme (printed on the left side). Dotted lines guide where to cut, though the picture-squares could be pre-cut for those who struggle with cutting out. Resource Details… I split ‘phase 2’ into four sets, one set per sheet. Not all phonemes are ‘initial’ letters (in sets 3 and 4 here) - so learners may need this pointing out before working on these independently if you want them to be kept focused. Set 1 s - scissors, snake a - apple, avocado t - torch, tractor p - panda, pear (learners should watch out not to confuse ‘needle’ with ‘pin’) i - ink, igloo n - narwhal, needle (NOT ‘pin’!) Set 2 m - mouse, milk d - dog (dachshund, ‘double d’ !), dinosaur (diplodocus, also ‘double d’ !) g - glasses (green - ‘double g’ ! ), goat o - (orange) octopus (double ‘o’!), orange c - cat, clock k - key, kangaroo Set 3 ck - sock, duck (‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners) e - elephant, egg u - umbrella (upside -down ‘double u’ !), up (stairs - arrow indicates this) r - robot, rainbow h - horse, house b - balloon (blue - ‘double b’ !), bee Set 4 ck - truck, black (‘ck’ is reinforced (repeated from ‘Set 3’) instead of leaving a gap) f - frog, fish ff - giraffe, coffee l - lemon, leaf ll - bull, ball ss - grass, dress Optional Extension Adding the word labels is optional and best provided as an extension for more able/quick learners. These tiny labels can be cut out and added under each ‘phoneme picture’, though the phoneme/grapheme matching should be completed first. The word labels are not consistently sound-out-able and learners would need to use their knowledge of the phonemes/graphemes already matched during the activity and look at the initial/final letter sounds to help them.

What’s included? This download includes x16 A4, pdf sheets (portrait) to practise handwriting x23 (all of phase 2) phonics sounds, as lowercase letters. Sounds included s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, b, r, u, h, f, ff, l, ll, ss. Resource details This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dots on top of each letter provide guidance of where exactly to write. There are four designs of sheet, each is clearly numbered and each is slightly different - for you to use according to the design/level that best suits your learner/s. The numbers 1 - 4 (at the top of each sheet) and the cover images left to right shows the levels in order of easiest (1 - most support, less challenge) to hardest (4 - least support, more challenge). The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100. Each set of letters has been included on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line. There is a clear space at the top of each sheet for learners to write their name. Sheet 1 Learners have one set (row) of each letter/sound to write - using the starting dot and dotted lines (on top of each pale grey letter shape) as a guide. Sheet 2 Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes the same (grey) letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot and without the dotted line guides. Some letters share the empty line due to limited space. Sheet 3 Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line includes some grey letter shapes for learners to trace over without a starting dot. There is also a blank space for learners to write their own letters after this for every letter. Some letters share the empty line due to limited space. Sheet 4 Learners have two sets (rows) of each letter/sound to write - using the dotted lines as a guide for the first line. The second line is a blank line for learners to write each support without any scaffolding support. Some letters share the empty line due to limited space. Who’s it for?

What’s included? This download includes x2 resources which have been designed to use separately AND together. In total there are x24 pdf sheets, portrait orientation in colour. These resources are designed around the Phase 2 phonics sounds MDGOCK. One resource is matching grapheme/picture word puzzles - x10 images for the sounds m/d/g/o/c/k. The second resource involves sounding out these words and writing them - using sounds only in Phases 2 and 3 - perfect to practise and reinforce Phase 2/3 sound knowledge. This (second) resource is differentiated with a more and less supported version depending on your learners’ needs, the difficulty level is identified as an icon at the base of each sheet (right side). Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in year one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource set has been designed to practise matching graphemes with images beginning with each sound AND to sound out words (using letters/sounds within Phases 2 and 3) to write them. Resource 1 Details Grapheme/picture match puzzles The tick in each image box (top right) indicates that this image is a word which can be sounded out. How to use it? An adult prints out ‘Grapheme/picture match puzzles’ sheet onto card and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate ‘letters/graphemes’ from ‘images’. The set of cut up letters and images can be placed on a table top for learners to match as a ‘two part’ mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the corresponding image. c cactus/camel/cards/camper van/coach/corn/cow/crab/cricket/crown d daffodil/dart/desk/doctor/dragon/dress/drop/drum/duck/dustpan g gift/glass/goat/golf/gorilla/gown/grain/grass/green/groom k kangaroo/keg/kestrel/ketchup/kilt/king/kiss/kingfisher/kitchen m magnet/man/map/marshmallow/mask/matches/maths/milk/moon/mushroom o octagon/October/octopus/off/on/orca/organ/ostrich/otter/ox Resource 2 Details Writing words resource Pages 1-2. Learners are to sound out and write the words for the images featured on the sheet, one image per box. These sheets are differentiated - page 1 is easier to complete (than page 2) as lines (to write on) show how many sounds are in each word. Red lines/letters indicate a sound which may be difficult to hear clearly when the word is spoken, e.g. ‘cricket’ is often said as ‘crickit’ with an ‘i’ sound. Learners may need help with these (red) letters/sounds. Page 3 clearly shows the answers. Resource layout The font used on page 1 is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120. The font is the same type on page 4 - size 40. Important message… ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? x4 sheets, landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in the early years, years one and two as well as older students who would benefit from investigating the concept of ‘symmetry’ and ‘symmetrical’ or students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry for all x26 capital letters of the alphabet! How to use it? The resource has been designed for learners to investigate the lines of symmetry by first cutting around each capital letter to investigate one letter at a time. It is best to begin by folding letters and cutting once learners are sure they have found a solid line of symmetry. A (safety!) mirror could be helpful as a back up to check (especially if letters have already been cut up!) Resource Details… Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Page 1. At the top are ‘larger’ capital letters, each within a dotted box - these dots guide where to cut. Learners can cut out one of these larger letters at a time (to avoid having lots of letters in front of them at once and risk losing some). Learners will need a pair of scissors each to begin this activity. Along the length of base side of the sheet is a set of smaller capital letters designed to be cut with two simple snips (vertically up to the red line and then horizontally) to separate these from the sheet one at a time. These are designed to be used to record findings (answers) - on page 2. The larger capital letters can go into the bin after they have been cut up, folded and investigated. Page 2. Learners will need a pencil to their write their name at the base of page 2 and access to a glue stick to continue their investigation using page 2. Once learners have investigated and discovered which letters are symmetrical they can snip and stick the smaller capital letters (at the base of page 1) onto either the left or right of page 2 - depending on whether they are/are not symmetrical. Page 3 clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, this is intended to be a reference sheet for learners once they have completed their investigation. Page 4 also clearly shows which capital letters are/are not symmetrical, but in more detail - including where the actual lines of symmetry are. For learners who might find the concept of symmetry difficult they can use page 4 (instead of page 1) and use the lines of symmetry included here to explore for themselves where to fold to investigate ‘symmetry’ with support.

What’s included? This download includes four A4, (x2 landscape/x2 portrait orientation) pdf sheets to play the ‘2D Shapes Robot Game’. UPDATE! Two new LARGER game boards are now included. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This resource is to help learners recognise and name 2D shapes as well as thinking about their properties e.g. the number of sides and corners/vertices. Resource Details The 2D shapes focused on in this game are investigated in this activity are semi-circle, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon. Learners will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game. Page 1 includes the game instructions. These are: How to play Each player choose a game board (left or right) page 2 Names can be written above each board Take turns to shake the die When a player rolls a number for a shape that they need to collect they ‘stick’ this shape onto their robot’s ‘control panel’ (right side, page 2). Follow the instructions below… If roll 1 - stick down and tick circle (circle has one curved side) If roll 2 - stick down and tick semi circle (a semi circle has two sides, one straight AND one curved) If roll 3 - stick down and tick triangle (a triangle has three sides AND three corners / ‘vertices’) If roll 4 - stick down and tick square (a square has four equal sides AND four corners / ‘vertices’) If roll 5 - stick down and tick pentagon (a pentagon has five sides AND five corners / ‘vertices’) If roll 6 - stick down and tick hexagon (a hexagon has six sides AND six corners / ‘vertices’) …once the shape is stuck down AND ticked that player can have ANOTHER turn! If roll a number for a shape already stuck down and ticked it is the next person’s turn instead… Repeat until one player has collected/ticked off ALL of their 2D shapes first! Page 2 includes two ‘game boards’ and a set of small 2D shapes for each player (dotted lines guide where to cut). Players will need a pencil, scissors and a glue stick to play this game. An adult could pre-cut the small 2D shapes for those learners who struggle with using scissors/find cutting difficult or de-motivating.
