It is appropriate for Term 4 Early Stage 1 or Stage 1. It supports Set 4a and 4b phonics worksheets by the same author. Firstly, the single grapheme for the sound is revised. Then new graphemes for the sound are introduced with a concurrent handwriting focus. Vocabulary for the graphemes is then presented. This vocab matches the worksheets. There is space for other words which contain the sound to be brainstormed and recorded. A screenshot of the corresponding worksheet is included to introduce the independent task.

This resource is a collection of Kindergarten/Year 1 phonics worksheets to compliment an explicit phonics program. It addresses the multiple graphemes (two or three) that represent a sound. It is the fourth set available. The worksheets include the graphemes ai, ay, a_e, ee, ea, y, e, igh, ie,i_e, oa, oe, o_e, oi and oy. The worksheets align with the phases of the UK Letters and Sounds sequence but compliment any phonics commercial or Early Stage 1/ Stage 1 (or equivalent) program. They can be used as an independent activity after whole class instruction or as an independent literacy group activity. The worksheets contain a phonics, vocabulary, handwriting and writing component. Students need to be introduced to the digraph and vocabulary containing the sound. They can then complete the worksheet by matching the vocab to the corresponding image and then write the word in the ‘word shape’ box. Students form the letters that represent the sound in a large ‘rainbow writing’ format and a smaller format on the lines provided. The final lines on the worksheet is space for students to use the vocabulary to write a sentence. The worksheets are differentiated. The extension worksheet does not contain a vocab box so students can independently spell. Students could also be extended by adding more words containing the sound around the ‘rainbow writing’. The support worksheet groups the graphemes for each sounds in columns and has more emphasis on letter formation. Both PDF and Word files are provided so the font on the worksheet can be changed, if required.
