If you are using the ‘Sounds-Write’ phonics programme (like me) then you know it can be tricky to find games which perfectly match the phonemes taught, and not include phonics not already introduced. 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 have ever had on this years phonics screening test. I have included games for all units 21 - 30 in the ‘extended code’. That means the following phonemes are included: Unit 21 - /ue/ - ue, ew, u, u_e Unit 22 - Spelling - oo/ue Unit 23 -/oy/ - oy, oi Unit 24 -/ar/ - ar, a, al, au Unit 25 - /o/ - o, a Unit 26 -Spelling - a/o/ae/ar Unit 27 - /ae/ - ai, ay, ea, a_e, a, eigh, ei, ey Unit 28 -/d/ - d, dd, ed Unit 29 - /ee/ - e, ee, ea, y, ey, ie, i Unit 30 - /i/ - i, ui, e, y 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.
