Halloween themed read and draw phonics tasks

Inspired by The Phonics Family post, I made the web game to suit the ALP common words. It requires milk or water bottle lids - children take it in turns to flip their counter onto the web, then they read the word it lands nearest, and colour it in. It could be adapted for a larger tuff tray activity.

This is a revision activity where children will read the word and identify the group it belongs to. For an extension task, children could write headings in their jotters and write the words in the correct columns, and then create sentences. I’ve included the flipchart too. This is for the long a sound at stage 4 of the ALP.
