A one-page beginning sounds worksheet for ages 5 to 7: eight friendly pictures (sun, ball, cat, dog, fish, hat, moon and pig), each with a box underneath for the first letter. How to use it Children say each word out loud, listen for the very first sound, and write that letter in the box. Stretch the first sound when you say it together: “sss-un”, “mmm-oon”. Hearing the first sound in a word is the first step to spelling it, so this is a core early phonics skill. Use it as a phonics starter, a quick check, or for homework. What’s included 1 A4 page, black and white, easy to print Suits Reception and Year 1 (Foundation and Year 1 in Australia, Kindergarten and Grade 1 in the US).

A one-page capital letter tracing worksheet for ages 4 to 6: all 26 big dotted capitals from A to Z, each with a small picture that starts with that letter (apple, ball, cat, all the way to yo-yo and zebra). How to use it Children trace each capital, then say its name and its sound and point to the picture. One row a day keeps practice short and happy. The finished page makes a nice record of progress. Use it for handwriting practice, alphabet learning, or homework. What’s included 1 A4 page, black and white, easy to print Suits Nursery, Reception and Year 1 (Foundation in Australia, Pre-K and Kindergarten in the US).

A one-page picture addition worksheet for ages 5 to 7: six apple sums with every answer under 10, so children can solve them by counting. How to use it Count the apples on one side of the plus sign, then the other side, and write the total in the box. Encourage children to count on from the bigger group instead of starting again from one. Real counters or toy apples help children see what adding really means. Use it as a lesson starter, a quick check after teaching, or for homework. What’s included 1 A4 page, black and white, easy to print Suits Reception and Year 1 (Foundation and Year 1 in Australia, Kindergarten and Grade 1 in the US).

A one-page telling the time worksheet for ages 6 to 8: six friendly clock faces showing o’clock and half past times, with a box under each clock to write the time. How to use it Remind children that the short hand shows the hour and the long hand shows the minutes. When the long hand points straight up it is o’clock; when it points straight down it is half past. Use it as a lesson starter, a quick check after teaching, or for homework. A real or toy clock nearby helps children check their answers. What’s included 1 A4 page, black and white, easy to print Suits Year 1 and Year 2 (Foundation to Year 2 in Australia, Grades 1 to 2 in the US)

A one-page rhyming words worksheet for ages 5 to 7: five pictures down each side, and children draw a line to join the pairs that rhyme (cat and hat, frog and dog, bee and tree, star and car, cake and snake). How to use it Children say each word out loud and listen for the ending sound before drawing a line. Say each pair slowly together so the rhyme is easy to hear. Rhyming helps children hear the sounds inside words, which makes reading and spelling easier later. Use it as a phonics warm-up, a quick check, or for homework.
