Looking for sentence building games with words which all match your students phonic ability? Well here it is! These games allow children to strengthen both their blending skills and their sentence building skills in one game. Each game can be played independently, or in pairs. The games come in two sets (with all initial code phonemes in each- see below), to allow for even more differentiation. Both sets of games have a sentence building component, set 1 asks students to draw their sentence after building to improve short term memory length, and show comprehension. Whilst Set 2 asks students to record their completed sentence to improve long term memory. Phonemes included in this resource: a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,ff,ll,ss,zz, sh, ch, tch, th, ck, wh, qu, ng Word types included in this resource: cvc, vcc, cvcc, ccvc, ccvcc, cccvc

10 Sounds Write Spelling Games - over 140 pages Spelling is all about practise, practise, practise! But let’s be honest, it can get tedious really quickly. That’s where these print and play games come in. I have created 10 different printable games. That over 140 pages! Each is organised into Sounds-Write units to cover the high frequency words in the Sounds-Write phonics programme. All of them need minimal prep and equipment, mostly a paperclip or dice and a coloured pencil. For ease of printing I’ve grouped each game into a separate pdf. I use these games for homework, and group work, as it’s so easy to differentiate them. I hope you find them as useful as I do. Please be aware that the spelling words in these games follow the HFW in the Sounds Write programme which are: is, a, the, I, for, of, are, was, all, come, some, to, there, their, these, what, where and who.

This powerful lesson is based on the picture book ‘A Wrinkled Heart’ by Tracey Hoexter. In the text we follow Elliott who discovers each time someone is unkind to him his heart becomes more wrinkled. The book goes on to teach the impact of words and the importance of apologising. This lesson plan includes all you need to teach this lovely lesson on kindness. Perfect to illustrate and set class expectations for the year ahead to students.
