Letter Formation Videos - Powerpoint

Letter Formation Videos - Powerpoint

(0)
These Powerpoint files contain videos for each letter in the alphabet, modelling how to form those letters correctly. You will receive two Powerpoint files - one where each letter is modelled by a real hand, handwriting, and the other where the letter formation is animated. We have found these videos incredibly useful within both Phonics and Handwriting sessions, as they allow students to view a continuous loop of correct letter formation when practising themselves. You may either use the Powerpoints as standalone sessions - viewed in Slideshow mode, the first slide allows you to click on which letter you would like to practise, and you are then taken to the slide for that letter where the video is looped for pupils to copy. Alternatively, if teaching a specific letter in a Phonics session, you could add the video file to your own Powerpoint and play the formation as and when is appropriate for your class. Please note that both Powerpoints contain two versions for the letters ‘k’ and ‘f’ - looped and unlooped/straight and curved. Simply move forward to the next slide to use the one relevant to your setting.

Initial Sound Picture Spotters - Phonics Sounds A-Z

(0)
These initial sound posters are filled with objects that start with each letter’s sound. They are designed to support phonics development in the Early Years and to make learning fun. Each ‘sound room’ has at least 10 pictures or objects starting with that sound. We have found these really useful to use at the beginning of Phonics lessons when we are introducing a new sound. All sounds from A-Z are covered. Download includes Powerpoint and PDF versions. Digraph/Trigraph picture spotters for Phase 3 sounds (+ RWI Set 2) are also available for purchase in my store. “What’s in the sound room today?”

12 weeks of Maths planning for the Autumn Term in Reception.

We focus mainly on number recognition to 10 in the Autumn term, as well as comparing length and introducing 2D shapes. The planning features 60 separate Maths sessions, and as such can easily be continued into the Spring term for settings that prefer a different pace or who may choose to repeat sessions for further consolidation. Resources that I use alongside this planning are also available for purchase in my store.
