Spell any name by joining the wagons to the correct capital letter engine.

Alliteration
The “starting sounds” engines have lost their wagons. Can your children find all three picture wagons to match their engine’s starting sound?
Rhyming
The “rhyming” engines are waiting for three rhyming wagons to be coupled on. Can your children use the pictures and words on the wagons to make a rhyming string and complete the train?
Spelling
12 engines with bold and bright pictures of phase 2, decodable, CVC words.
Children sound out the word before using the letter wagons to spell the word and complete the train.
Reading
Short captions represent an important developmental bridge between reading individual words and reading whole books. Children match the decodable, phase 2 captions on the coupled wagons to the correct engine picture.

Designed for use with 2's and 3's but also excellent as a numeracy intervention for reception children.
These 11 research based activities and games are ideal for children working towards counting out 3 objects from a larger group.
Babies can recognise when small groups increase or decrease and these games tap into this innate ability, linking it to the concept of number. By doing so children begin to understand what numbers are for and so learning to count becomes less abstract and more concrete.
This pack contains instructions for 11 different activities and games, some with included printable resources. All based on my Masters research into how children learn to count and tried and tested in the home learning and school environment.
This printable story mat has cute moveable ducks.
This well known rhyme has repeated phrasing and a simple story arch, making it easy to learn and ideal for independent story telling.
