Phonics Basics Early Level Anchor Charts

Support young learners as they begin their phonics journey with this colourful set of Early Level Phonics Basics Anchor Charts.

Designed in a bright, child-friendly primary style, these posters introduce the foundations of phonics using simple explanations, clear examples and engaging visual prompts. They are perfect for Early Level literacy displays, phonics lessons, reading areas, small-group teaching and independent reference.

This resource includes 8 separate anchor charts:
What Is Phonics? – introducing how letters and sounds help us read and write
Letters and Sounds – understanding that letters represent the sounds we hear and say
Say the Sound – encouraging learners to recognise a letter and say its sound clearly
Find the Letter – spotting and identifying letters within words
Match Sounds to Letters – connecting the sounds we hear with the correct written letters
Blend Sounds Together – pushing individual sounds together to read a whole word
Build a Simple Word – choosing letters, putting them in order and blending the sounds
Check Your Phonics – a simple pupil-friendly checklist encouraging children to look, say, blend, read and try again

These posters are ideal for developing letter recognition, sound awareness, blending and early word-reading skills. The clear steps and repeated visual language help children build confidence and independence while reinforcing the basic strategies they need when approaching unfamiliar words.

The bright primary design makes the charts ideal for phonics walls, literacy displays, reading corners, intervention groups and classroom reference, with each anchor chart presented on its own page for easy printing and display.
