Record: Pupils practice their letter formation by writing the word clearly next to the correct image. Key Features: Comprehensive Coverage: Includes all five split digraphs: a-e, e-e, i-e, o-e, and u-e. Phonics Screening Check Ready: Features a mix of common nouns and tricky e-e vocabulary to build pupil confidence. Active Learning: Perfectly aligns with the need for physical movement to support memory and retrieval. Independent Challenge: Structured to allow pupils to work independently or in pairs, supporting your classroom’s provision. Teacher Benefits: Easy Evidence: Fits perfectly with a "Challenge system. Pupils can simply hand in their completed sheets or take a photo of their work on a tablet.
