I enjoy creating high quality resources to help students achieve their full learning potential. Many of my products contain flexible lesson plans, differentiated worksheets and practical activities and PowerPoint Presentations on a wide range of subjects.
Aimed at: EYFS/Year 1 and children who are still finding blending and segmenting CVC words challenging.
Content:
Black and white puzzles with and without pictures for children to make CVC words. They can cut out the pieces and glue into their workbook or on separate sheet of paper. When they have made the word they trace inside the letters with different colour pencil.
Green puzzles - best to laminate and cut out. Children can practise putting the pieces together and then write the word on their whiteboards.

This resource relates to onset and rime word families.
Aimed at: Reception Class/KS1, SEN and ESL/EFL Students.
<strong>Product Content:</strong>
Onset and Rime PowerPoint Presentation with animation
Recording worksheet
Hexagon shape card – laminate and cut out
Onset card divided into three sections for onset and rime activities - laminate
This presentation is an introduction to onset and rime presented in a way that children understand the concept and consolidate their knowledge by carrying out practical activities and recording their work on a worksheet or into their workbooks.
I find this resource very useful, especially in smaller group settings.
There are so many onset and rime word families. I have used the easier ones in the presentation.
To make this resource flexible and ‘hands-on’, I have made an onset card which you can laminate.
Once I laminated the card, I dabbed the letters with a dry erase pen on the onsets I wanted children to use to make onset and rime families. So there is an opportunity to differentiate the tasks.
I have also made a hexagon shape rime card. Just laminate and write the rime you want the children to use together with the Onset Card.
You can differentiate the activities by choosing the rimes you want the more advance groups to use and easier rimes for the groups that find blending onset and rime challenging.
Dabbing the onsets you want some children to use with the rimes makes it easier for them to build word families.
Hope you enjoy using this resource.
Thank you for your interest:-)
