What’s included? This pdf download includes x4 pages designed in landscape orientation featuring ten pairs of hands (each showing x10 fingers!) to practise counting up to 100 in 10’s. This resource has been designed in black and white for easy, clear printing. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in Y1 and Y2 as well as students needing additional learning support. This resource may be suitable for some pupils in Reception. Resource layout The simple lay out of pairs of hands, clearly showing ten fingers in each (blank) box is an easy to use (and re-use!) resource. Numbers can be written straight onto the sheet (and wiped off if laminated). Size 40 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font makes the numbers easy to read and the simple layout makes the process of counting in 10’s visually clear to young learners. Page 1 The first page has x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank space under each image where the learner can write the correct 10’s number. This blank version can also be printed and the adult can write some of the 10’s numbers in, leaving gaps for the learner to write to remaining 10’s numbers in the complete the boxes. If given to a learner as it is (without any numbers written on) this page is the ‘most challenging’ sheet in this set. Page 2 The second page is the same design (x10 boxes of ten sets of fingers with a large blank space under each image where the learner can write the correct 10’s number). On this page the numbers ’10’, ’40’ and ‘100’ are included, leaving x7 number gaps for the learner to complete. With three completed numbers to help this is the ‘least challenging’ sheet in this set.

What’s included? This download includes one A4, landscape pdf sheet to practise ‘counting in 5’s’ from 0 to 50 (and back) using rainbow coloured circle shaped ‘beads’. Dotted guide line showing where to cut and punch a hole are included. The hole to punch is 5mm in size though a smaller hole punch could be used (to increase the fine motor skills challenge!) 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 The layout includes x6 rows and x9 columns of circular shaped beads each with a 5’s number from 0 - 50 (and back again). Beads are arranged in rainbow order to help guide and motivate learners in finding the next number (and colour) in the pattern. This is an ideal activity to keep learners busy and independent.

What’s included? This download includes x1 sheet in portrait orientation to practise counting and matching tens and ones/units images with numeral labels for numbers up to 32. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. This resource has been designed give learners the opportunity to count tens and ones images (to 30) and match these with the correct numeral label by cutting and sticking (ten numbers) and writing the numerals for two - the last images on the left/right. Resource layout Learners write their name at the side (right), then cut out ten numeral labels at the base of the sheet (following along dotted lines) and label the images correctly - according to how many tens/ones are featured. The last two labels need to be written - a pencil indicates which two boxes to write in. Pale grey boxes indicate where to ‘stick’ the numeral label answers.

What’s included? This download includes x2 sheets, both landscape orientation, pdf format to look at and read / sound out x20 number names from the ‘common word’ list. What’s it for? This activity set has been designed to give learners an opportunity to look more closely at a set of the common words and practise become familiar with seeing/reading these words on sight as well as matching these words with their images. This set includes x15 number names which can be sounded out and x5 ‘tricky’ number names (which can’t be sounded out). All words included have a matching image (of the numeral and correct number of objects). This is a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently or those needing some individual 1:1 support. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for Early Years children/pupils in Year 1 who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in Year 2 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource is also suitable for older learners who need to revisit these tricky words/spelling as well as pupils with additional learning needs. How to use it? Learners cut out words along dotted lines provided and (ideally to avoid getting words in a muddle!) look at one word at a time to become familiar with it. Learners can focus on the black letters to attempt (in part) to sound each word out. Learners then match the word with the image - placing each word card on/in the box underneath the images. Word cards are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched the words with the images. Instructions for how to use this resource are numbered as a list on the left side of this activity sheet. There is a clear space for learners to write their name (right) and the number date (top, right). Resource Details… Words have been organised depending on which phonics phase they fit in with. The 'title box’ (top-right)’ makes the colour coded system clear. Pink indicates that the words are from ‘phase 2’, purple indicates that the words are from 'phase 3’, turquoise indicates that the words are from 'phase 5’ and grey indicates that the words are from phase 6+. Red letters indicate the tricky letters e.g. the ‘o’ and ‘e’ in ‘one’ are both tricky (and both are red) as well as ‘irregular’ letters/sounds, e.g. the second ‘e’ in ‘seven’ which can be commonly pronounced as an ‘u’. Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘th’, ‘ir’ and ‘ee’ in ‘thirteen’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side). Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you!

What’s included? This download includes x8 sheets - x7 in landscape orientation and x1 in portrait orientation to practise counting out tens and ones to match numerals up to 69. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? Learners count out tens and ones (by cutting out tens/ones images) to match numerals from 2 up to 69. Resource layout Learners write their name at the base of each sheet. Each learner should also be given one tens/ones sheet to cut out what they need. The more sheets learners complete the more tens/ones they will need so spares of this sheet will be need to be available - close to hand. Learners look at the numeral in each box and count out (cut) the correct number of ones and tens to position (stick) in the box. Each sheet is numbered (1 - 7) the more sheets learners complete the larger the numerals on each sheet become. Target numbers you choose Page 2 has blank boxes for an adult to write numerals they would like to target for learners to practise. The size of the boxes on page 2 are quite small and suitable for ‘ones’ numbers (smaller than 10) - a ‘ten stick’ may fit here if placed horizontally but only with up to x7 ones. The numbers on sheet 7 could be covered up if adults wish learners to target specific numbers with tens and ones as there is more space in these boxes. I think x7 ten sticks is the limit for the two boxes on page 7 size-wise. Important message… ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes. Feedback would be wonderful! Thank you!

Learners then match the word with the image - placing each word card on/in the box underneath the images. Word cards are to be secured with glue once learners are happy they have matched the words with the images. Resource Details… These words are all from the list of ‘first 200 high frequency words’ to read and spell. It is possible to ‘sound out’ these words. Where individual letters are underlined - this indicates that together these (underlined) letters have one sound, e.g. ‘ow’ in ‘town’. This is also indicated on the ‘key’ included on the sheet itself (right side). Any ‘tricky’/‘irregular’ letters are identified in red, such as ‘e’ in ‘garden’ which tends to be pronounced as an ‘u’. To fit in with other resources available in my TES shop - the colour indicates which phonics phase these words fit in with. Purple indicates that the words are from 'phase 3’, turquoise indicates that the words are from 'phase 5’ and grey indicates that the words are from phase 6+. The ‘title’ (top, left) can be used as a visual reference to keep this colour coded system clear.

What is it? ‘This belongs to…’ labels set x10 portrait orientation pdfs each containing x12 individual name labels for books/pegs/trays, each label featuring the words ‘This belongs to ___________’ New school year, new term or a refresh these themed name labels should brighten up those school books and help organise those cloakrooms! What/Who is it for? These labels have been designed with an eye catching image to help young learners recognise their items when they are maybe not yet familiar with recognising their name. Learners could choose their image at the start of the school year/term and this image/label design could be used consistently on their books/personal tray/storage cubby/coat peg. These labels could also be ideal for older learners (with a particular interest) who would benefit from the additional visual aid to support their educational needs. Or! They can be used as you choose… Resource details There are x5 themed sets, x12 unique images/labels per sheet all available with black borders OR coloured. Each label includes the words 'This belongs to’ with a horizontal line to write/stick each child’s name on. Font is Sassoon Infant Std, size 20. Label size Each label is approximately W 9cm/10cm x H 4.5cm/5cm (depending on size of a white border kept when cut out). Sets include food (fruit and treats) transport nature (my favourite!) everyday objects animals All sets are available with black/coloured borders.

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 words have each been repeated three times (in three columns) left to right. There are clear, visual, instructions at the top of each 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 both sheets for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheets (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.

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 both sheets for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheets (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. Handwriting words included at the base of the sheet are the same font but smaller - size 40.

What’s included? This download includes x3 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the lowercase letters s, f, x, z, e. The way these letters are written is more irregular than the letters in the other groups (also available in my TES shop - for free!) Who’s it for? These resources have 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 as these letters are 'similar’ - the way they are formed is more ‘irregular’ than the other letter groups. These letters zig zag (the letter ‘z’), start and stop in alternating directions (the letter ‘x’), twist and turn (AND start and stop!) - letters ’s’ and ‘f’, begin writing in a reverse direction than ‘usual’ (the letter ‘e’). These handwriting sheets should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters. 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 - s/f, x/z and e/z. 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. It would be helpful to keep completed sheets to 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.

What’s included? This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting two lowercase letters b and d. What’s it for? These resources have been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing the letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ which are visually very similar. This resource should help in providing some focused additional support looking at b and d together. 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 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. This resource focuses on the letter b for the first x4 lines then letter d for the next x4 lines. The last line focuses on both letters - b then d. Each line has been designed to become slightly more challenging in terms of the visual support provided. 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. Lines 1 and 5 These letters are shaded a with pale grey and have an outline to help guide learners writing inside the line. The first b/d on line 1/5 begins with a clear colour-coded letter showing exactly where to begin - on the green ‘go dot’ (step 1) . Learners follow the colour coded numbered dots to the final red ‘stop dot’. Lines 2 and 6 These letters are the same as on lines 1/5, however the letters do not have the ‘outline’ guiding learners to keep ‘inside’ of the lines. Lines 3 and 7 These letters do not have an outline or grey base colour, only a starting dot and grey dotted lines. Lines 4 and 8 These letters have a grey base colour and a starting dot but do not include guiding dotted lines. Learners will need to remember the directions to form these letters by themselves. Line 9 This is a repeat of the style of the letters as previously introduced (as arranged vertically) to encourage learners to become more independent as the move right along the line when in writing these letters. Learners will also need to switch from writing b’s to d’s in the middle of line 9. Important message… ANY issues with this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.

What’s included? This download includes x3 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the lowercase letters c, o, a, d, g, q . 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. These letters are all written in a similar way, starting at the top and beginning by curving round to the left… Resource details The font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.
