What’s included? x2 sheets (x10 picture/CVC word cards) focusing on the ‘o’ sound. Both sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format. Also included are instructions of how to make a ‘Function Machine’ and what is needed to make one. These cards are designed to be used with a Function Machine, however you may have another use in mind… Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? As said, these CVC cards have been designed to be printed double-sided on card to use with the ‘Function Machine’ (~instructions of how to make one of these included) to practise sounding out simple CVC (Phase 2 phonics) words - learners read each word then push the card into the top function machine slot and can see if they are correct when the picture pops out of the slot below. This activity has been designed to be a simple, interactive, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals to be getting on with independently. How to use it? An adult needs to print these card (double-sided) onto card and and pre-cut the cards into x10 separate rectangle cards. The set of cards can then be placed on a table top, positioned with a ‘Function Machine’ for learners to use on their own or perhaps with adult support (initially). Learners read each word by sounding out the individual phonemes, they then push the card into the top slot of the function machine and find out if they are correct when the picture pops out of the lower slot… Phoneme ‘dots’ have been included under every grapheme so that learners know how many sounds to say as they read (sound out) the words. Resource Details… The words/pictures included use phonemes/graphemes from Phases 2 and 3 but mainly Phase 2. The words included in this set are - Green (Set** o**) dog, shop, frog, rock, cogs, clock, box, pot, fox, socks. Sets for ALL vowels (doubled sided or as separate cards to read and match) are also available in my TES shop. Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed up.

What’s included? x2 sheets to practise writing words using Phase 2 phonics knowledge. Both sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? These ‘Phase 2’ phonics ‘writing words’ sheets have been designed for Early Years children who are learning these sounds for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds or ideal for assessment purposes at the end of Phase 2. This resource is also ideal for pupils with additional learning needs. How to use it There are two levels of worksheet to complete, both include an icon at the lower right side indicating this level. Both sheets include colours which link to the order that the sounds are taught. From top downwards - red sounds are introduced first (so should be most familiar), orange sounds are next, followed by yellow then green sounds which are the last of the Phase 2 phonics sounds. The less challenging sheet focuses on CVC words and includes ‘sound dots’ under the lines (to write on) indicating how many sounds are in each word. This sheet also has one CCVC and one CVCVC word at the end (green). This sheet displays the icon with the green figure (lower right side). The more challenging sheet focuses on words with generally more sounds or using those sounds which can be trickier to remember. This sheet displays the icon with the red figure (lower right side). There is a simple instruction at the top (for learners) and a clear space at the base of each sheet for learners to write their name and a space for the number date (top, right). Resource Details… ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out using sounds within Phase 2. The words to write are listed here: Less challenging sheet ant tap pan map cat mat kit (like ‘PE’ or ‘football’ kit) rat bag bat frog lemon More challenging sheet stamp ink nest dog gift (not to be confused with ‘present’!) duck octagon (learners need to know this 2D shape!) up bell hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’!) daffodil (learners will need to know the name of this flower or may write ‘flower’ instead. grass Suggestion These sheets could be used for assessment purposes at the end of Phase 2 once all the sounds have been introduced. Alternatively these sheets could be laminated and used as a table top activity for learners to access independently using a wipe clean pen.

What’s included? This download includes x3 A4, portrait pdf sheet to practise reading and writing CVC words mostly within Phase 2. One sound in this set (z) is in Phase 3. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This activity is interactive and encourages learners to sound out and read simple CVC words and think about what these words mean. Some words of course may have more than one meaning, however for the purpose of this activity I have only provided one illustration for every word. For words which are ‘new’ to them learners may need to work by process of elimination to identify the correct word/picture combination to record this (in writing) on the sheet provided. Resource Details The layout includes one ‘CVC wheel’ to make with easy to follow instructions. Once the wheel is assembled once turned different initial letters are revealed to make x9 ‘_ip’ CVC words. ALL words are ‘real’ (not ‘nonsense’) words. Words/pictures included are: clip dip hip lip nip pip rip tip zip (z is a phase 3 sound) Differentiation Also included is one sheet in two levels of difficulty. The first sheet only has the initial sound missing (easier), the second sheet has ALL letters missing - for learners to write on the lines provided (more challenging). The level of difficulty is indicated by an icon at the base of each sheet (right side) - green for easier, red for more challenging. There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of each sheet (left side). The CVC phonics wheel can be reused time and again. Suggestion I suggest printing and making the phonics wheel out of card which is stronger so more robust than paper and easier to turn.

What’s included? This pdf download includes x3 landscape orientation sheets featuring x7 colour ‘splats’ with colour name labels with clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate/cellophane colours for (window) display. What’s it for? These colours have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the coloured shapes look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the colour ‘falls’ depends on the position of the colours in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole set of colours together as a focus to encourage learners to recognise and name each colour. The colours can of course be repositioned and displayed as you choose. I have included a ‘Colours!’ label to be displayed with the set of shapes. This resource would also support work on shadows and light/dark. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students who would appreciate a pop of colour shining through when the sun comes out! Resource Details The colours all have a colour name label which is in the font ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 45. There are x3 pages. The first page includes clear instructions with two colours, the second page includes remaining colours in the set and the last page the ‘Colours!’ word label. Suggestions I recommend printing and making these letters out of white card - paper would be too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are quite inexpensive on Amazon(!) I recommend also backing every colour in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time and to do this x6 sheets of A4 white card will be needed (instead of x3 sheets).

What’s included? This download includes four A4, pdf sheets (portrait) to practise handwriting x4 lowercase letter sounds (graphemes) - ear, air, ure, er. 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 and dots on top of each letter provide guidance of where exactly to write. Set 9 ear air ure er There are eight previous sets in the same design for all of the letters in Phases 2/3. Like those sets this set (9) includes four designs, each numbered and each slightly differently according to the design and level that best suits your learner/s. The numbers 1 - 4 (at the top of each sheet) and the cover image 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. Page 1 Learners have one set (row) of each sound to write - using the starting dot and dotted lines (on top of each pale grey letter shape) as a guide. Page 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. Page 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 with a starting dot. There is also a blank space (with starting dots to help) for learners to write their own letters after this for every letter. Page 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.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation as a pdf) featuring one ‘weather words’ word search (page 1). The answers (on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Who’s it for? This word search has been designed for pupils the early years, in years one and two, as well as students needing additional learning support. This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners with reading ‘high frequency’ key words. Knowing these common ‘weather words’ - both reading them on-sight and learning the correct spellings will benefit both reading and writing. This word search makes the spellings clear, there are x24 words to find - a lot ! Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The weather words have been organised into four groups of six, clearly showing all hidden question words below the word search. As said, there are x24 words to find in total. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards and backwards). Words to find are; cold, frost, hail, ice, snow, sleet, cool, cloud, damp, drizzle, mist, shower, hot, dry, wet, rainbow, rain, sun, warm, fog, lightening, storm, thunder and wind. Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Useful for… I find word searches like this good way to motivate pupils to read words and while engaging in the activity learners are encouraged to focus on the spellings as they really think about the order of which letter follows which within each ‘weather’ word especially as they try to track words which are hidden backwards or diagonally within the word search!

What’s included? This download includes four A4, portrait pdf sheets to make x4 phonics fans featuring all sounds in Phase 2. Red Set 1 (page 1) Includes sounds s a t p i n Orange Set 2 (page 2) Includes sounds m d g o c k Yellow Set 3 (page 3) Includes sounds ck e b r u h Green Set 4 (page 4) Includes sounds f ff l ll ss How to use this resource As all letter sounds for Phase 2 are included here all letters can be combined onto one ring as one set. I have included ‘covers’ for each individual set incase the preference is to split the sets. A ‘cover’ for ALL sounds is included on page 4. Phonics fans can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. Learners can use these phonics fans as a personal reference resource to cross-check the correct grapheme or orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. Phonics fans can also be used for a variety of games and to involve learners during sound rhymes and songs. These fans are a great size to fit into a pocket or clip onto a lanyard to be accessed both inside the classroom and outdoors. 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. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic. These could be ideal should you wish learners to access the contents of the ring (e.g. to order the sounds) and come in a variety of colours. Alternatively I have found standard metal keyrings also work well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the keyring. I recommend that each letter is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf. Important message… ANY issues with these phonics fans please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes AND I am happy to create a new resource if you have an idea just let me know - I’d really love to hear from you! Feedback of these resources would be wonderful! Thank you!
