Begin with what do children already know about pirates. Then 6 pictures to write sentences about and label a pirate leading to sentences. If I was a pirate as an independent write. Finally a writing a wanted poster. Picture to be stuck in books and children to draw their pirate and then complete the writing.

There are large labels for each sound and then 2 sheets of words. I have used this as an activity to sort the words by which ur/er/ir sound they contain. The children then stuck the words to the wall.

The children will have 2 sheets of words to sort by putting them under the correct sound label. They can be used at a table or stuck on the wall as a display.

This is a booklet that I am sending home for my phonics group. They cover all the sounds that we have worked on so far. It will be a holiday challenge to review the sounds before the phonics screening.

For every sound that I teach I put the book pictures in their phonics book to use for spellings and sentences. Then I use the reading activity to assess if they can use that sound to read. They read real and fake words to try and find the correct word.
