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!

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. This resource is also ideal for learners 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.

Resource Details…
ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out in the order that the Phase 2 sounds have been learnt. This red ‘Set 1’ (with the exception of ‘nest - which contains an ‘e’ from set 3) includes words which all contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n.
The same design resource for the remaining letters in Phase 2 are also available in my TES shop.
The words included are listed here:
Set 1
s - stamp
a - ant
t - tap
p - pan
i - ink
n - nest (contains ‘e’ - introduced later, with set 3)

What’s included?
x5 sheets (x4 sets of cards and answers) for Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets. Portrait orientation, pdf format
Who’s it for?
This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has been designed to be a simple activity to consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently and/or for learners to revisit these sounds with an adult.
This resource has been designed for Early Years children, pupils in Year 1 who need some sound practise/reinforcement or learners with additional learning needs.
How to use it?
Each learner is to match the ‘grapheme’ and 'picture’ cards. There are four colour coded sets to help limit options and make the different sets clear to help with organisation.
Resource Details…
Phase 2 is split 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 with these.
Although the focus of this activity is the ‘sound’ (only) ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out in the order that the Phase 2 sounds have been learnt. The red set (with the exception of ‘nest - which contains an ‘e’ from set 3) are all words which contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n.
I have designed additional resources to extend learning, including reading and writing words only using sounds in Phase 2. These are available in my TES shop.
The answers are listed here:
Set 1
s - stamp
a - ant
t - tap
p - pan
i - ink
n - nest (contains ‘e’ - introduced later, with set 3)
Set 2
m - map
d - dog
g - gift (contains ‘f’ ‘ introduced later, with set 4)
o - octagon (although this is a longer word it can be sounded out using sounds from sets 1 and 2. IF learners know this 2D shape)
c - cat
k - kit (e.g. football/PE kit)
Set 3
ck - duck (first ‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners)
e - egg (double ‘gg’ may be an issue though of course the ‘g’ letters together only have one ‘g’ sound)
u - up (escalator - arrow indicates this)
r - rat (not to be confused with ‘mouse’ !)
h - hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’ !)
b - bag
Set 4
f - frog
ff - daffodil (‘middle’ sound may catch out some learners) Learners will need to know this particular flower or may just associate this image with ‘flower’ (for ‘f’)
l - lemon
ll - bell (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)
ss - grass (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)
Recommendations
I recommend printing these resources onto card rather than paper to help improve durability. I’ve recently purchased a ‘corner cutter’ which gives beautiful smooth, curved edges - these card corners are radius size 18. I used size R7 for square cards (corners) and size R4 for larger ‘answer’ cards. The corners of the answer cards are size R10.
What’s included?
This download includes four A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise reading and writing to correct x8 simple sentences. Every sentence has x3 mistakes to correct. The last two pages include the same sentences with every mistake made clear.
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
Pages 1 and 2 both include x4 sentences, each in a separate box, illustrated with a simple image on the right. Both pages include the same instructions at the top - making it clear to learners that there are x3 mistakes in each sentence and what these mistakes might be.
Mistakes may be spellings, capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of both pages.
The words included and spelling errors make the level of this activity aimed at learners who are learning Phase 5 phonics. Sentences include words containing Phase 5 sounds (ea, ay, a-e, aw, ph) as well as a knowledge of common high frequency words including she, you, his, are, and, said, see, their, not, with, at, the, to, do, that, can, in, loved, dad. The pictures provide clues to assist reading unfamiliar words (e.g. lions, zoo, sheep, lambs, chicken, grapes, bake) to encourage learners to use a range of reading skills when decoding these sentences if they are not at a level to read them on-sight.
Pages 3 and 4 clearly show the answers in exactly the same format to encourage learners to be autonomous in checking their own learning. Each mistake is circled in pink and corrected clearly underneath to make clear to learners exactly where and what each mistake was.

What’s included?
x2 sheets (x10 picture and x10 word cards) for CVC words focusing on words with the ‘u’ sound. Both sheets are portrait orientation, pdf format.
What’s it for?
This CVC phonics/reading practise activity set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently.
How to use it?
An adult needs to print and pre-cut the cards into rectangles (dotted guide lines make where to cut clear).
The set of cards should be placed on a carpet/table top. Learners read each word by sounding out the individual phonemes, they then match this to the picture from this set. 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. I plan to make a more ‘challenging’ set focussing more on Phase 3.
I will list the words included below -
Blue (Set** u**’)
bun (may be confused with ‘cake’ or ‘cupcake’ though in Yorkshire (where I am from!) this is a ‘bun’!) duck/cup/truck/slug/sun/bug/plug/hut/mug
Sets a/e/i/o are also available in my TES shop. Each set is a different colour to avoid cards becoming mixed and to help finding a relevant matching card easier.
