WHY YOU’LL LIKE IT

• Sound buttons on every practice word: dots, lines, and curves for split sounds like a-e
• Alien words on every sheet, so children really blend instead of guessing
• Practice checks with our own words, ideal for Year 1 before the June check
• Clear school-style letters that are easy for new readers
• Mostly white pages, kind to your printer, plus an INK-SAVER edition in black and grey

WHAT YOU GET

• 2 PDF files: A4 colour and A4 ink-saver

HOW IT WORKS

• Print at 100% / actual size on A4 paper
• Print only the pages you need, as many times as you like for your own family or class
• Start with the first sheet that has sounds your child is still learning
• The files are not editable.
• This is an independent practice resource. It is not the official phonics check and is not linked to any phonics programme.
• Sized for A4. US Letter printers can use ‘fit to page’.
