A bumper pack of 70 differentiated phonics worksheets to support the teaching and learning of blending and segmenting cvc and cvcc/ccvc words with short vowel sounds (excluding ‘ck’), including a focus on consonant blends. Here are worksheets to give plentiful blending and segmenting practice for all abilities. First blend CVC words with a short vowels sound, add in consonant blends. The sheets can be used with any synthetic, systematic phonic scheme and work well at stages 2, 3 and 4 of letters and sounds, once all of the initial sounds have been learned. Many also find them helpful for older special needs pupils. Written to meet the needs of the average class, with a range of differentiated worksheets from which you are sure to find one to meet the needs of every pupil. Some children breeze through this stage quickly and you will find material to challenge them and to assess their readiness to move on. Others need much more reinforcement work and you will find here plenty of that too - a bountiful supply! Some sheets focus on blending, others on segmenting and some on both. Other sheets encourage the child to see letter patterns and similarities between words including a focus on rhyming. Hints on the best use of the sheets is provided - not least how to use them as an assessment tool. Suitable for use with SEND pupils and for reading catchup. The sheets can be enlarged for guided literacy sessions/whole class work. Have you seen ‘Sound-it-out’ Pack of CVC Games, and the ‘Sound-it-out’ Pack of CVCC Games’ which complement these worksheets making a good fun way of reinforcing learning? They are ideal for sending home for extra practice after a lesson, or for use by classroom assistants. Also Sound-it-out Initial Sounds Worksheets for those children not yet ready for blending.

Eight Free phonics worksheets, covering cvc words, cvcc words, ‘ck’, ‘ee’/‘oo’, ‘sh’, ‘ar’ and ‘or’ providing valuable back up work to lessons. Great assessment tools. Written for ages 5-6 but can also be used with older children requiring catchup help or those with special needs. These sheets are compatible with all phonics schemes, however as different schemes introduce sounds at different time, just check that your pupil knows all the necessary digraphs to complete the sheet. For example, the word ‘shark’ has both ‘sh’ and ‘ar’ and so both should have been learnt before expecting the child to read and spell this word.

This is a pack of 12 ‘or’ digraph, phonic worksheets. These ‘OR’ Phonic Worksheets can be used with very young children, although I made them for children who have processing difficulties and need more systematic teaching. They are: highly systematic have a limited amount on each page as these pupils tire easily. Pupils should be confident blending with consonant blends (Phase 4 Letters and Sounds for example) and know the digraph AR. I use ‘Sound-it-out boxes’ for new words, where digraphs are grouped together to give the child the visual reminder to make one sound. The worksheets include activities to: Develop blending and segmenting Give needed repetition to to develop word recognition Develop phonemic awareness - much needed by early learners Tracking activities - to see and recognise the new sound in words Comprehension activities Writing practice Reading of longer passages Fluency triangles Lots of repetition builds confidence and success! Help a struggling reader today. You will find it hard to find such a comprehensive programme of systematic phonic instruction for a special needs child for such a price. This is one of a series.

A simple but effective spelling programme for Phase 5 of Letters and Sounds teaching the new graphemes. Help children become good spellers, and help struggling readers and spellers make progress. Take one sound a week, study the word list and practice the new sound and the following week do a dictation for that sound. It is that SIMPLE! Just a few minutes a day for 16 weeks! This programme works because: Each sound is studied for a whole week. This gives time for the new knowledge to be assimilated - time that the middle to lower ability groups desperately need to succeed and for whom most programmes go way too fast. The child is NEVER asked to spell a word that has not yet been systematically taught. This develops confidence and works for ALL children regardless of ability. The programme is** truly systematic**. Each dictation builds on the one before and is carefully worked out to revise the sounds. There is no SPELLING TEST that the child can fail - the dictation is the test, while also teaching children to apply their new knowledge. The child finds his/her own errors and corrects them by using phonics. It WORKS! Can be used with a whole class (where appropriate) or groups, or even individually by special needs teachers or TA’s. Note: Progress is dependent on the quality of teaching. Please ensure children can spell confidently words with the Phase 4 sounds before starting this programme. Worksheets to go with this programme can be found here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/phonic-worksheets-for-phase-5-of-letters-and-sounds-12456406

This is a pack of 12 ‘ar’ digraph, phonic worksheets. They were written for children who need a slower pace and more instruction but will equally suit the young child learning phonics. They can be used with any systematic phonic programme - including RWI, Jolly Phonics and Letters and Sounds, or Reading Made Simple. They are designed to be used as a workbook, but can be used individually as needed. They take the child from aurally hearing the new sound in word, to gradually reading and writing words with the ‘ar’ sound. They particularly suit those with dyslexia, or suspected dyslexia, who have failed with other approaches to learning phonics. They are highly systematic, and have a limited amount on each page as young/special needs pupils tire easily. These ‘ar’ phonic worksheets work on my ‘sound-it-out’ principal for special needs: See it! Sound-it-out! Write it! Thye utilise ‘sound-it-out’ boxes (Orton Gillingham style) to group sounds in each word to visually guide the pupil to sound out the new words. Lots of repetition builds confidence and success and culminates in the reading of two passages, with reading comprehension activities alongside.

A colouring page for every letter of the alphabet. Colour the things that begin with each sound. One object on each page (except A) starts with the previous initial sound. Can the child find it? Encourage neat colouring to aid pencil control. Correct phonic ‘i’ sound and ‘q’ written with ‘u’. I made these sheets for one of my pupils who is delayed in speech. He loved colouring and this was a way to motivate him. They helped him to successfully learn all 26 initial sounds. They can be used by all children and though suitable for use with all schemes, do progress in order - so if the phonic programme your child/ren is/are using does not follow the order of the alphabet, then maybe wait until all of the sounds have been taught. If you are teaching your own child, you may be interested in our totally FREE, phonic, reading and spelling programme, Reading Made Simple.
