What is it?
This resource focuses on practising handwriting the tricky words which are part of phonics phases 2, 3, 4 and 5 and key vocabularly (reading and spelling) which are essential to know.

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.

Resource details
This activity is a ready-to-use worksheet. Learners can start writing on each letter using the clear starting dots. Each word is repeated three times, from left to right, to provide practice.

The sheet has clear, three-part visual instructions at the top. The center shows a colour order to follow: dark green, light green, pale yellow, mid yellow, orange, and red to “stop.” Note that some letters do not have enough steps to use all of these colours.

This resource helps learners practice writing one word at a time, gradually reducing support from left to right. Learners start with a word in the first column, then write it again in the second and third, with less guidance each time.

The first word (column one) has a green (‘go’) starting dot, coloured arrows around the outside of each letter to show the direction to move the pencil from the beginning to the end red (‘stop’) dot.

The second word (column two) also includes a green starting (‘go’) dot and red (‘stop’) dot as well as one arrow per letter making clear the initial direction the pencil should move in.

The third word (column three) includes a dark grey starting dot and light grey stop dot for each letter. Learners will need to use the knowledge they have learnt from writing each word twice before to complete writing ‘word three’ more independently.

At the base of some sheets (Phases 2, 3 and 5) there is a space to further practise writing each of these words several times and smaller (each positioned on a line). The words at the base of the sheet only have a grey starting dot to help learners.

There is a clear space at the lowest edge of both sheets for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheets (right side) a space for the number date.
