What’s included? x5 sheets (x4 sets of cards and answers) for Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets. Portrait orientation, pdf format Who’s it for? This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has been designed to be a simple activity to consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently and/or for learners to revisit these sounds with an adult. This resource has been designed for Early Years children, pupils in Year 1 who need some sound practise/reinforcement or learners with additional learning needs. How to use it? Each learner is to match the ‘grapheme’ and 'picture’ cards. There are four colour coded sets to help limit options and make the different sets clear to help with organisation. Resource Details… Phase 2 is split 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 with these. Although the focus of this activity is the ‘sound’ (only) ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out in the order that the Phase 2 sounds have been learnt. The red set (with the exception of ‘nest - which contains an ‘e’ from set 3) are all words which contain the sounds s, a, t, p, i, n. I have designed additional resources to extend learning, including reading and writing words only using sounds in Phase 2. These are available in my TES shop. The answers are listed here: Set 1 s - stamp a - ant t - tap p - pan i - ink n - nest (contains ‘e’ - introduced later, with set 3) Set 2 m - map d - dog g - gift (contains ‘f’ ‘ introduced later, with set 4) o - octagon (although this is a longer word it can be sounded out using sounds from sets 1 and 2. IF learners know this 2D shape) c - cat k - kit (e.g. football/PE kit) Set 3 ck - duck (first ‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners) e - egg (double ‘gg’ may be an issue though of course the ‘g’ letters together only have one ‘g’ sound) u - up (escalator - arrow indicates this) r - rat (not to be confused with ‘mouse’ !) h - hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’ !) b - bag Set 4 f - frog ff - daffodil (‘middle’ sound may catch out some learners) Learners will need to know this particular flower or may just associate this image with ‘flower’ (for ‘f’) l - lemon ll - bell (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners) ss - grass (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners) Recommendations I recommend printing these resources onto card rather than paper to help improve durability. I’ve recently purchased a ‘corner cutter’ which gives beautiful smooth, curved edges - these card corners are radius size 18. I used size R7 for square cards (corners) and size R4 for larger ‘answer’ cards. The corners of the answer cards are size R10.

What’s included? x7 sheets each sheet with x12 cards to read and match (x84 cards in total). Portrait orientation, pdf format Who’s it for?

There are x4 colour sets included (indicated by the outer line colour of each box) to help keep cards in order. The red set includes words/pictures which only include sounds s, a, t, p, i, n. The orange set includes words/pictures which only include sounds s, a, t, p, i, n AND m, d, g, o, c, k. The yellow set only includes sounds s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k AND ck, e, b, r, u, h. The green set includes sounds in all of Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, b, r, u, h) but with a particular focus on the sounds f, ff, l, ll, ss… Resource Details… ALL images featured here have been chose because they CAN be sounded out in the order that the Phase 2 sounds have been learnt.

What’s included? This download includes four A4, portrait pdf sheets to make x4 phonics fans featuring all sounds in Phase 2. Red Set 1 (page 1) Includes sounds s a t p i n Orange Set 2 (page 2) Includes sounds m d g o c k Yellow Set 3 (page 3) Includes sounds ck e b r u h Green Set 4 (page 4) Includes sounds f ff l ll ss How to use this resource As all letter sounds for Phase 2 are included here all letters can be combined onto one ring as one set. I have included ‘covers’ for each individual set incase the preference is to split the sets. A ‘cover’ for ALL sounds is included on page 4. Phonics fans can be used in a variety of situations including on-the-carpet questioning with the whole class/smaller groups where pupils can show their answers instead of speaking. Learners can use these phonics fans as a personal reference resource to cross-check the correct grapheme or orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. Phonics fans can also be used for a variety of games and to involve learners during sound rhymes and songs. These fans are a great size to fit into a pocket or clip onto a lanyard to be accessed both inside the classroom and outdoors. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic. These could be ideal should you wish learners to access the contents of the ring (e.g. to order the sounds) and come in a variety of colours. Alternatively I have found standard metal keyrings also work well as a more permanent ‘holder’ of the contents threaded onto the keyring. I recommend that each letter is laminated before punching a hole and threading onto a keyring - this is included in the instructions on the pdf. Important message… ANY issues with these phonics fans 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 really love to hear from you! Feedback of these resources would be wonderful! Thank you!

What’s included? This download includes nine A4, portrait pdf sheets to make an Alphabet matching set featuring x54 cards (pictures to name, say the initial sound of and match to the correct letter card - upper and lowercase letters both included). How to use this resource This matching activity has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each picture and (if they are able) say what it is. Learners then say the initial sound for each picture and match the picture card to the alphabet letter card which shows the same initial sound. Once the set is matched into pairs (pictures and letters together) learners can then order the pairs from the beginning to the end of the alphabet (or vice versa which can be much trickier!) Pictures included are apple, banana, car, dog (Dachshund!), egg, frog, grass, house, ink, jam, key, lemon, milk, nine numbers, orange, pink pig, quarter, robot, sun, tree, upside-down umbrella, van, wall (not to be confused with ‘bricks’ !) xylophone, yellow yoyo, zebra. This alphabet shape matching set could be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to cross-check the correct orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. This ‘alphabet match’ set could also be used for a variety of ways, both inside and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the pictures cards or all the letter label cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic (as seen on the main resource image). Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small piece of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource. Important message… ANY issues with this alphabet matching set 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 really love to hear from you! **Feedback of this resource would be wonderful!

Learners then say the initial sound for each picture and match the picture card to the alphabet letter card which shows the same initial sound. Once the set is matched into pairs (pictures and letters together) learners can then order the pairs from the beginning to the end of the alphabet (or vice versa which can be much trickier!) Pictures included are apple, banana, car, dog (Dachshund!), egg, frog, grass, house, ink, jam, key, lemon, milk, nine numbers, orange, pink pig, quarter, robot, sun, tree, upside-down umbrella, van, wall (not to be confused with ‘bricks’ !) xylophone, yellow yo-yo, zebra. This alphabet shape matching set could be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to cross-check the correct orientation of individual letters if unsure when writing. This ‘alphabet match’ set could also be used for a variety of ways, both inside and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the pictures cards or all the letter label cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support. Suggestion I recently purchased some brightly coloured plastic keyrings which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic (as seen on the main resource image). Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small piece of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource. Important message… ANY issues with this alphabet matching set 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 really love to hear from you! **Feedback of this resource would be wonderful! Thank you!

What is a Function Machine ? A ‘function machine’ is a shoebox with two slots (like a post box) which adults/learners can ‘post’ a double-sided card (e.g. a credit-card size) into the top slot and this will pop out of the lower slot reversed…to younger learners this can seem like ‘magic’ ! What’s it for? Once this is made it can be used in loads of ways as different sets of double-sided cards are built up to use with it. Examples include - number bond sums doubles facts times tables practising phonics sounds (grapheme on one side, image with that initial sound on the reverse) reading noun words (picture on reverse reveals answer) The list of possible uses is endless and up to you which direction to take this in… This is a great resource to invest in making as it’s a little bit different but can be used to demonstrate learning in an interactive way and for those learners who like to ‘do’ this can really engage and keep them interested - learning without realising - perfect! I have included a description as best as I can along with photos for every steps (and from different angles) to try and make exactly what to do as clear as possible. It’s actually not that tricky once you grasp the aim but when it’s made (and it works!) it’s so cool - kids really like it! What’s included? a list of exactly what is needed x5 portrait orientation pdf instruction sheets (with photos) explaining exactly what to do - step by step 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. Special request ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know. This was pretty tricky to explain clearly and succinctly and if my instructions are unclear I’d really like to know so I can improve them for others. If at any point you hit frustration in making this I really want to help so please do let me know. I apologise now if these instructions are not easy to follow and simple but really hope they are and help you! I am happy to make any 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! Feedback of this resource would be wonderful! Thank you!

What is it? This download includes x3 sheets (portrait orientation) featuring x27 right-hand/finger ‘pointers’ in rainbow/skin tone colours both as solid colours and outline only. What’s it for? These are for learners to hold and use to ‘point’ to their learning - ideal to use alongside my ‘ants on apples’ set of rhymes (available in my TES shop!) How to make it? Print onto white card, follow dotted lines to cut out each hand/pointer shape, attach a wooden lolly stick to the back with sticky tape and they’re ready to use! I kept my set in a little pot in the reading area for learners to help themselves to or you may wish for learners to have their own, maybe in their favourite colour… 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. If you use a ‘pointer’ you can guarantee they would like to use one too! Special request ANY issues with any of these please don’t hesitate to let me know.

What’s included? This pdf download includes x5 landscape orientation sheets featuring every alphabet letter and clear step by step instructions to create colourful acetate/cellophane letters for (window) display. What’s it for? These letters have been designed to install and sense of awe and wonder - the letters look so beautiful when the sun shines through them and where the coloured letter shape ‘falls’ depends on the position of the letters in relation to the sun which changes as the sun’s position changes throughout the day. The set gives an opportunity to showcase the whole alphabet together to encourage learners to recognise and name each letter (and sound) and practise ordering the letters of the alphabet (depending on how they are displayed). The letters can of course be repositioned to create words and labels as you choose. I have included ‘labels’ for the words ‘Hello’ and ‘Welcome’ as a separate listing in my TES shop - these could be good for displaying on a glass panel on a classroom door where you meet and greet parent/carers. This resource supports work on shadows, light/dark and better understanding the shape of lowercase letters to develop greater recognition. Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students who would appreciate a pop of colour shining through letters/words when the sun comes out! Resource Details The letters are all in the font ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 220-250, so a clear, ‘easy to read’ size. There are x5 pages. The first includes clear, simple step-by-step instructions and the remaining pages includes all of the alphabet letters (not in order). Suggestions I recommend printing and making these letters out of white card - paper would be too flimsy and see-through so not effective. A set of coloured acetate/cellophane sheets is needed to make these - these are quite inexpensive on Amazon(!) I recommend also backing every letter in white card so that the coloured acetate/cellophane is concealed within the card - this looks so much nicer on the window and makes each letter stronger however is twice the work and time (and card!) to create. If made well the first time these could last years and create a very beautiful addition, offering inspiration in any learning space.
