If you’re using the ‘Sounds-Write’ phonics programme (like me) then you know its tricky to get games which follow the order of the phonemes taught. Well not anymore! This game pack is fantastic for consolidating phonic knowledge and strengthening blending skills. It can be played by by one or two students independently; or it can be used for group work. Not only does it really work, but you need a teeny amount of prep, just print the game boards and go! My school have adopted these games for the whole of KS1, with the best results we’ve ever had on this year’s phonics screening test. I have included games for all of the first 10 units in the ‘extended code’. That means the following phonemes are included: Unit 1 - ai, ay, ea, a_e Unit 2 - e, ea, ee, y Unit 3 - ea (one spelling, two sounds) Unit 4 - o, oa, ow, oe, o_e Unit 5 -o (one spelling, two sounds) Unit 6 - er, ir, or, ur Unit 7 - e, ea, ai Unit 8 - ou, ow Unit 9 - ow (one spelling, two sounds) Unit 10 - oo, ew, ue, u_e, o Each game includes a colour version and a black and white version for your printing preferences. Units with new phonemes include a game version with the new (focus) phoneme highlighted ( I find this useful for students who struggle with fluency), and a none highlighted version, for more fluent readers.

My school have adopted these games for the whole of KS1, with the best results we’ve ever had on this year’s phonics screening test. I have included games for all of the 11 units in the ‘initial code’. Each game includes a colour version and a black and white version for your printing preferences. Units with new phonemes include a game version with the new (focus) phoneme highlighted ( I find this useful for students who struggle with fluency), and a none highlighted version, for more fluent readers.

This set of 5 phonics mats covers all phonemes as set out in the ’Sound-Write Phonics’ programme. I am in no way affiliated with this programme, however I do use it in my class to teach phonics ( I can recommend it whole-heartedly, if you are in the market for a new phonics scheme!) I use this resource daily in the form of a phonics mat, as a teaching support at desks (students have a copy in of their own to refer too). We also have printed them out for display as a memory prompt for spelling. I hope you find them as useful as we have.
