Phase 2 Phonics Worksheets: Letter Sounds

Phase 2 phonics worksheets for Reception: say, trace and blend each sound from s a t p to h b f l, with tricky words and simple reading, plus j to qu.

WHAT’S INSIDE (59 A4 pages)

• 29 sound pages: s a t p, i n m d, g o c k, ck e u r, h b f l, then j v w x y z qu. Each has the sound to say, the letter to trace from a start dot, and words to blend
• Group review pages after every set: blend and match, read and circle, read and colour, sound hunts and ‘spot the sound’ pages
• Tricky word pages after every group, with a wavy line marking tricky words in sentences
• A ‘well done’ certificate at the end

HOW TEACHERS USE IT

• Follow-up after the daily phonics session, one or two pages at a time
• Keep-up or catch-up groups for children who need extra blending practice
• Homework packs: send the matching page home the week you teach the sound
• Slip a page into a plastic wallet for dry-wipe practice in continuous provision

CURRICULUM LINKS

• EYFS ELG Word Reading: say a sound for each letter; read words consistent with phonic knowledge by sound-blending
• EYFS ELG Writing: write recognisable letters, most of which are correctly formed
• The sound order follows the familiar Letters and Sounds (2007) Phase 2 sets, with j v w x y z qu from the start of Phase 3. This is not a DfE-validated SSP programme: use it as extra practice alongside your school’s scheme and check your scheme’s order first
