What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one word search for number names from ‘one’ to ‘twenty’ (page 1) and the (colour-coded) answers - clearly showing where all words are hidden (page 2). Who’s it for? This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young readers especially pupils in years one and two as well as students needing additional learning support. Knowing these number names (words) is also an important part of maths in these year groups as questions and information often include the number name as the written word (e.g. ‘three’) instead of the more easily recognisable numeral (e.g. ‘3’). For those learners either needing the additional support of having the numeral AND the number name the numerals ARE included in this version. For learners who would like an extra challenge, the numerals from 1 - 20 are all also hidden within the word search. Once the learner has located each of these they could be circled on the word search and ticked off in the box below. The numerals have been included in a variety of font styles to encourage learners to get used to recognising numerals written differently. Resource layout The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid and featuring easy to read size 25 ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font. The black and white version of this word search is also available. This version uses x4 colours - red, yellow, green and blue. The twenty number name words have been organised into four colour groups of five, clearly showing all hidden number words in order up to twenty. There are x20 words to find in total. There are also the matching numerals 1 - 20 to find and tick off, these are colour coded to make them easier to identify. These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards) vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (up and down - both directions).

Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused, or this black and white version is a good version for photocopying. This word search is also available in colour (with and without the matching numeral to also find) These colour versions are also available in my TES shop. Useful for… I find word searches like this good for a range of uses including as an introduction to a topic, follow on activity for early finishers, a related fun approach to a topic themed focus and as an engaging homework task, useful in supporting reading, spelling and maths. I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers. Online learning This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.

Recommendations I recommend that learners use a ‘highlighter’ style pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified. Some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible (if words are instead ‘crossed out’ this makes the letters harder to read and identify). This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused. Useful for… I find word searches like this good way to motivate pupils to read words and while engaging in the activity learners are encouraged to focus on the spellings as they really think about the order of which letter follows which within each ‘people’ word especially as they try to track words spelt backwards or diagonally within the word search! This word search can make a good use of time as a follow on activity for early finishers, linking to learning about ‘nouns’ for example. Word searches can be an engaging homework task, useful in supporting reading, spelling and writing. I hope this resource will be useful to range of educators including parents, support workers, additional and special needs assistants, tutors and teachers. Online learning This resource is also ideal to upload and use in on-line classrooms, such as Sherpa.

What’s included? This download includes two pages (x2 A4 sheets, portrait orientation) featuring one ‘question words’ word search (page 1). The answers (on page 2) clearly show where all words are hidden, displayed in the same layout (as page 1) for easy comparison and quick reference. Who’s it for? This word search has been designed for pupils in years one and two and maybe the early years, as well as students needing additional learning support. This simple, clear resource has been carefully designed to encourage young learners with reading ‘high frequency’ key words. Knowing these ‘question words’ - both reading them on-sight and learning the correct spellings will benefit both reading and writing. This word search makes the spellings clear, there are x24 words to find - a lot ! These words are hidden horizontally (forwards and backwards), vertically (up as well as down) and diagonally (forwards and backwards). Words to find are; can, are, could, should, would, why, do, don’t, did, is, will, must, have, how, who, has, was, may, what, when, were, where, which and whose.

What’s included? x8 sheets (activity and answers) for Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets. Portrait orientation, pdf format What’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has kept little hands very busy and focused (for me!) I hope the same will be true for you! This has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently. Phase 3 (x5 sets) in same design is now available in my TES shop if you like/d this one. How to use it? Each learner needs to cut out x12 ‘phoneme pictures’ and match x2 of these ‘phoneme pictures’ to every grapheme (printed on the left of each sheet). Dotted lines guide where to cut, though picture-squares could be pre-cut for those who struggle with cutting out. Resource Details… I split ‘phase 2’ into four sets, one set per sheet. Not all phonemes are ‘initial’ letters (in sets 3 and 4 here) - so learners may need this pointing out before working on these independently if you want them to be kept focused. I have made which sounds these are ‘bold’ (below) for your quick, easy reference… I will list the answers here in case they are not obvious! Set 1 s - scissors, snake a - apple, avocado t - torch, tractor p - panda, pear (learners should watch out not to confuse ‘needle’ with ‘pin’) i - ink, igloo n - narwhal, needle (NOT ‘pin’!) Set 2 m - mouse, milk d - dog (daschund, ‘double d’ !), dinosaur (diplodocus, also ‘double d’ !) g - glasses (green - ‘double g’ ! ), goat o - (orange) octopus (double ‘o’!), orange c - cat, clock k - key, kangaroo Set 3 ck - sock, duck (‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners) e - elephant, egg u - umbrella (upside -down ‘double u’ !), up (stairs - arrow indicates this) r - robot, rainbow h - horse, house b - balloon (blue - ‘double b’ !), bee Set 4 ck - truck, black (‘ck’ is reinforced (repeated from ‘Set 3’) instead of leaving a gap) f - frog, fish ff - giraffe, coffee l - lemon, leaf ll - bull, ball ss - grass, dress Recommendations Adding the word labels is optional and best provided as an extension for more able/quick learners. I find a small, flat (shallow) container is helpful for each learner to have if a group are working on the same activity set at the same time (to stop cut-out pictures becoming muddled up). Each different set here is a different colour to help with this. However, if learners only cut out one picture at a time there shouldn’t be an issue with losing any pictures. Tiny ‘word labels’ which can be cut out and added to the ‘phoneme pictures’ to ‘’extend’ the activity (page 2, lower right side). I feel it t is best, however, to complete the phoneme/grapheme matching first (without word labels initially) to encourage learners to think about the sounds in each word more carefully.

What’s included? SET 2 x6 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 Set 1 (letters - m d g o c k). Landscape orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set (2) has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first set of letters/sounds introduced. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently. Phase 2 (set 1 - s, a, t, p, i, n) in same design is now available in my TES shop if you like this one. How to use it? The adult can pre-cut the x10 rectangular shaped puzzles - pages 1 and 2 (grey dotted lines guide where to cut) to separate them from each other. The adult can also cut the orange dotted lines to separate the segments of each puzzle itself. Picture/word puzzles Each learner needs to match up the segments of each picture/word puzzle to complete the x10 pictures and words - all words on the ‘picture/word’ puzzles are made using only the ‘m d g o c k’ letters/sounds. Once the puzzles are complete learners can use these as a reference to complete the x10 sentences (pages 3-6). Extension/follow-on sentences… There are two versions of the same x10 sentences to complete. A larger format (pages 3 and 4) which can be cut up (perhaps laminated) and written on (if laminated - with a dry wipe/wipe clean pen). The smaller scale version (page 5) has the same x10 sentences but ‘all on one page’ for learners to complete with a pencil, as a ‘worksheet’. Answers are included on page 6 in the same format which learners can use for quick, easy reference. Resource Details… The sentences include high frequency words ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘this’, ‘is’, ‘go’, ‘on’, ’can’. The sentences also include the word ‘spade’ (with an image of a spade directly above this word), ’peas’ (with an image of pod with peas in/outside of it directly above this word) and ’hot’ (with an image of pot with steam coming out of the spout directly above this word). The sentences included are - ‘A pink _ _ _’. (pig) (‘pink’ can be sounded out) ‘This is a hot _ _ _ ‘. (pot) (‘h’ in ‘hot’ may not have been introduced yet) ‘This is a _ _ _ ‘. (dog) ‘The _ _ _ _ can spin‘. (cogs) (‘spin’ can be sounded out) ‘Peas in a _ _ _ ‘. (pod) (‘peas’ may be tricky) ‘This _ _ _ can go on top’. (cap) Question ‘Where do we put a cap?’ could be asked (on top of a head!) ‘A cat sat on the _ _ _ ‘. (mat) (‘cat’ can be sounded out) ‘The spade can _ _ _ ‘. (dig) ‘The _ _ _ can stand’. (man) ‘This is a _ _ _’. (map) Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes AND I am happy to create a new resource if you have an idea just let me know - I’d love to hear from you!

What’s included? SET 1 x4 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 Set 1 (letters - s a t p i n). Portrait orientation, pdf format. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set (1) has been designed to be a simple, predictable matching activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first set of letters/sounds introduced. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently. How to use it? The adult can pre-cut the x16 rectangular shaped picture (x8) and word cards (x8) - pages 1 and 2 (grey dotted lines guide where to cut) to separate them from each other. These x16 rectangles can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to read and match together. Resource Details… The words on the word cards only use the letters s, a, t, p, i, n. These words are: snap pin pants spin tin sit pan snip Learners may find ‘snip’, snap’, ’spin’ and ‘sit’ more tricky to match as these four cards do not link directly to a noun picture card. ‘Snap’ links to a ‘crocodile’, ‘snip’ to ‘scissors’, ’spin’ to a ‘globe’ and ‘sit’ to the cat which is ‘sitting’ on a chair.

This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support. What’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set (2) has been designed to be a simple, predictable matching activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first TWO sets of letters/sounds introduced. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently. How to use it? The adult can pre-cut the x16 rectangular shaped picture (x8) and word cards (x8) - pages 1 and 2 (grey dotted lines guide where to cut) to separate them from each other. These x16 rectangles can then be shuffled and placed on a table top (shuffled) for learners to read and match together. Resource Details… The words on the word cards only use the letters s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k (from sets 1 AND 2) These words are: dog map pig cap pot mat pod cogs Learners may find ‘pod’, ‘cogs’ and ‘mat’ more tricky to match as these three words are not as obvious. ‘Pod’ may be a new word/concept to some learners (what a ‘pea’ grows inside of), learners may not know/be familiar with ‘cogs’ (or know what they are called) and may confuse ‘cat’ with ‘mat’ as the word they are looking for - to match the ‘mat’ picture card. I have included an orange arrow pointing to the ‘mat’ to hopefully help make this clearer.
