I created all these resources to be used in my class when they start in reception. The idea behind this resource is to allow children to read the CVC word in the middle of the card. When they have done that, they choose one of the eight pictures around the outside and should put a peg on the correct picture. This shows understanding of what they have read but also helps with their fine motor skills, which in turn will help when they are ready to write.

Teaching through book talk is the best way to help children learn new vocabulary and aid their development in learning the spoken word. We use a lot of books in our setting to help children. One thing I did notice though, is that there are not many phonic resources you can buy that will help children. There is a lot of basic things of course but they are all limited. This resource I made is a brilliant way to help children who are starting to learn to read basic words. The child needs to read the all three words and see which one matches the picture they can see (very very important as reading can be a ‘silent’ activity when a child begins to read so they need to know it is relatable to something.) I used pegs for the children to show which picture was the correct one (again this was to help with fine motor control and strengthen their grips). They pegged one word before coming to me and telling me what they have read by sounding it out and then saying the word. Cut the resource out. Fold the picture and the backing on itself and laminate these together so its back to back. This way there will be two cards per sheet of A4. The pegs are something you will have to provide but once you have them, you are all ready to go.

This resource I made is a brilliant way to help children who are starting to learn to read basic words. The phonemes are all attached to the resource so nothing will be lost. There is a picture for the children to relate the word too (very very important as reading can be a ‘silent’ activity when a child begins to read so they need to know it is relatable to something.) Cut the resource out. Fold the picture and the backing on itself and laminate these together so its back to back. Then cut out and laminate the three phonemes. These should be attached to the main card via a split pin so the child can manipulate the letters to make the word.

I have created these resources due to having a very creative class. The idea here is to read the sentence given and then draw a picture that matches. This aids comprehension skills as well as fine motor skills to aid writing after. A win win. The children loved the rewards they would receive once they have completed three or more.

One thing I did notice though, is that there are not many phonic resources you can buy that will help children. There is a lot of basic things of course but they are all limited. Is it me, or is one of the hardest things to do when teaching children to learn, is to find sentences they can access to read on a given topic. And of course, if they can read them, they can start to write them soon after too. So I hope this resource helps you as it did my class.

A great way for young children to learn how to read, to learn phonics is to manipulate letters and sounds. Here is a way to allow children to ‘play’ with sounds in order to make words. Early years teachers (Kindergarden) will be able to use this resource to see if children can spell words and read them. The idea here is to cut out the resource and fold it in half. Then laminate them. The extra part to this that you will need are bottle tops, where you have wrote letter sounds on the top. Once laminated, children can then use these bottle tops to place them on top of the circles to create simple CVC words that relate to my other resources from We’re going on a bear hunt. The eight words are: dog, wet, mud, big, brr, mad, bed, sad

These resources were created to aid comprehension within my class. The simple sentences have sound buttons on each word that is decodable. They also have simple ‘tricky words’ within this sentence. The idea is for the child to read the sentence so they understand what it says and then they use a peg and place it on the correct picture that matches what they have just read. The idea with the pegs is to aid fine motor skills and therefore aid their development where writing is concerned. These resources have proven very popular with the children who are able to read within the class, especially when coupled with a reward for reading 3 or more.
