Phase 1 Phonics Week 1 Planning and Resources This is a series of quick and easy lessons to help support your children through Phase 1 of Letters and Sounds. Please find more great phonics resources on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/misterteach. Thanks you.

This is a complete week of phonics planning and resources linked to Letters and Sounds. Included are links to Real Life Phonics and Simply Phonics videos on YouTube. All videos, ideas and resources are tried and tested with children aged 4-5 (Reception/ FS2).

I have always enjoyed using the Jolly Phonics songs in my phonics lessons, but I decided to create this video, when a four-year old asked me what a tennis game was. I was also asked what castanets and ‘water gurgles down the drain’ means. This is the remastered version… (as version one had a few errors). My phonics videos are extremely popular on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/misterteach.

This is another bingo style activity I have created, linked specifically to the sounds of the woodland. Ideal to use alongside ‘The Gruffalo’ by Julia Donaldson. I would suggest printing the gamecards out as photographs (two per page). Use alongside the listening video found at www.youtube.com/misterteach.

This is a resource to use alongside the video. Challenge children to volunteer to orally segment a farm animal for the other children to ‘guess’ by orally blending the word. The video to use with this resource and many other phonics videos can be found on my channel: www.youtube.com/misterteach. Thanks

I made a series of videos for children to move their ‘lightsabers’ in the air to. Great for developing strength for writing in the arms and pre-cursive letter formation. I also have videos that run alongside Letters and Sounds Sets. Visit: www.youtube.com/misterteach

This is a set of posters including all Year 3 and 4 words form the NC spelling list. Can be printed small and laminated on desks or larger for display on the walls. (very colourful).

Use these word towers on tables. Print out and trim the left edge to the line. Laminate and fold along the line joining each column. Tape along to join. They will then stand freely on desks.

This video helps revise the best ways to learn and remember spellings. Visit to my channel for more spelling, phonics and handwriting videos: https://www.youtube.com/misterteach

This resource is great for display. It has a funky border! It can be used alongside my 26 Letters of the Alphabet song on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChf0ErPjca3wGIuaBlOrMhg?sub_confirmation=1

I made the first of these certificates for some children in my class who love certificates! Suitable for EYFS.

A classic activity, requiring children to make the words containing the middle short vowel sounds with magnetic letters or letter cards first, then write the words. Ideal for the end of Phase 2/ beginning of Phase 3. Can be further supported by my video series on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChf0ErPjca3wGIuaBlOrMhg?sub_confirmation=1

This resource is to be used in alongside the ‘Dear Zoo’ Listening game video (Zoo Animal Sounds Listening Game - Phase 1 Phonics) that can be found on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/misterteach. The listening game is an excellent activity to use during Phase 1 of your phonics teaching. It teaches children the real sounds of the animals in the book and a chance to use the fans to make their guesses of which animal is making the sound as you use the game. An explanation of how the game works can be found in the video description. Please check out my other videos, like and share them. Many thanks

This resource will help children hear the sounds within words as you orally segment them. It will also help them recognise the graphemes in print. Download the phonics planning to accompany these resources for free via my TES page. Visit my channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChf0ErPjca3wGIuaBlOrMhg?sub_confirmation=1

This resource features all Phase 2 letter shapes (graphemes), with accompanying pictures. They can be printed, folded in half and laminated for daily PGC work or simply displayed as they are.

A simple game to help reinforce the phase two tricky words and the high frequency words and, it, in, is and at. Please check out my Youtube channel, subscribe and share! www.youtube.com/misterteach

Fine tune those listening ears! Please remember to like, share and comment on any videos you use. www.youtube.com/misterteach

Download these free Minecraft Listening Bingo cards. Ideal for developing listening and attention skills with children who are fans of the great game! I have also included the Powerpoint versions I used to make the cards so you can create your own variations e.g. with six or eight images (rather than just four). All I ask is that you like and share the video on my youtube channel www.youtube.com/misterteach.

This is a Minecraft themed alphabet resource, ideal for Minecraft fans! It is taken from my classic Minecraft alphabet song, as featured on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/misterteach Please check it out, subscribe and share! Thanks :)

This is a free sound bingo/ lotto game. To be used alongside a video, which can be found on my YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/misterteach The aim of the game is to place counters (not included) on each animal as its sound is played on the video. The video can also be used as a guessing game. Ideal for developing listening and attention skills. I have a number of other resources, so please check out my shop and my channel.
