Fun with phonics means simple, hands-on activities. This easy alphabet game will help with letter recognition and fine motor skills.

Consonant blends appear at the beginning of words and consist of 2 consonants whose phonetic sounds blend together to create one sound. Teaching consonant blends can be tricky!

CVC words are three letter words that follow a consonant/vowel/consonant pattern. Use building blocks to help blend sounds when reading common CVC words. Making reading practice fun and hands-on.

Finding fun ways to practise high frequency words is a challenge! By using a tally chart, you can combine literacy and maths practice at the same time.

High Frequency Words appear very often in written text (e.g. 'it', 'and') while tricky words also appear frequently, but don't follow normal phonetic patterns and can't be sounded-out (e.g. 'the'). Help your child get ahead in their reading with this printable list of Phase 2 — Phase 5 high frequency and tricky words.

Repetition is key when learning high frequency or sight words. This is a fun detective activity that involves reading and writing high frequency words.
