Phonics Phase 2 Printable Activity Worksheet

Find and circle a given letter. A great way to help children remember their letters! After all the letters have been found and circled you can make it into an interactive game by asking the child to turn away while you write another letter on the sheet. Ask the child to turn back and find and circle the extra letter. Once that's done, you need to turn away so the child can write and hide a letter for you. A great fun way to add writing practice!

Another popular phonics activity in my class is to make your very own set of tricky word keys!

Free Handwriting Practice Worksheet Phase 2 Phonics

When learning letter sounds it is important that children learn to write them using the correct letter formation. This worksheet is ideal for practising handwriting giving clear guidance on where to start forming the letters and where to go from there. To make sure children don't rely on these guides, they are gradually removed until they are ready to write the letter on a line.

Attractive Phase 2 Sound Mat

When learning the letter sounds it is very important that children are provided with a sound mat that can support them when it comes to writing. It is one thing to recognise a letter when shown one and it is another to recall what that letter looks like when it's needed for writing. Having a sound mat gives a helping help for children. Every sound is supported by a picture to enable easier identification. Bright colours and fun images! Enjoy ;)

Pirates Wanted Poster with a twist- Free teaching resource

Creating a wanted poster during your pirate themed week (or term!) is a must. I've used this pirate poster in my starter activity and asked for the help of a child to poke his face through it with the rest of the class helping me label this wanted man.

For best results print and label it A3!

Pirates Cut and Stick activity- Dress up a pirate

I've used this pirate cut and stick activity as an independent activity during our Pirates Love Underpants theme. This activity was introduced by saying that although pirates do love underpants they can't be walking around  wearing nothing but their underpants! The children were asked to cut and stick their chosen pieces of clothing onto the pirate and were then asked to label at least three things such as 'pink boots' or 'stripy shirt'. The children absolutely loved this activity and they were keen to complete it all by themselves :)

Flowers Number Line Flowers Numbers Display

This is a bright and colourful resource that can be used to decorate your classroom or the outdoors. I personally use it for both! It is important to have numbers displayed around the classroom that children can look at but what's better is if the display is not only pleasing the eye but can also be played with. I personally displayed these under my IWB with blue tack so that it can be easily taken off. I often mix them up and choose a child to come and do me a HUGE favour by organising my little flowers :) Yes, I do make a big deal of it and yes the children respond really well to it. If you cut these flowers out first and then laminate them you can make them waterproof so they can easily be displayed outside!

Aliens Love Underpants Subtraction Underpants- Free Teaching Resource

When doing our topic on Aliens Love Underpants I've realised that there is barely anything out there for teachers to use. Perhaps it's because it's not that popular? Not sure. Either way I have created some underpants with subtraction sentences and small images for the children to cross off when solving the problem.  Cut them out and hang them on a washing line. If you laminate them you can reuse them again and again.

Pirate Number Line 0-10

I designed four different versions of this pirate number line to suit a variety of needs. You can use the ready made and coloured number line or you can let your children colour it themselves. For the more able group I've created a blank number line so they can write the numbers themselves. I would laminate it for them so it will last longer. Just watch how they will love using their own number lines!

Phonics Phase 2 Phonics Bunting Display

I am a firm believer that building up your classroom display with the children gives them a sense of ownership over their environment. This bunting display was designed with the intention of doing just that! After teaching a new sound to the children display the bunting of that letter only. The next day you add next day's letter and so on. This way you can build your classroom decoration with the children. I've added some pictures for each letter which will support the children in recognising the letter.

Alphabet Bunting Display

My most popular resource is this beautiful alphabet bunting I have created. It comes with a precursive handwriting font with colourful dots that definitely catch the children's eyes. You can use a hole punch to feed a string through or simply use pegs. If you display it low enough for your children to reach you can create a challenge for them by mixing them up and the children have to put them in the correct order again. Whether you use it for decoration only or for hands on learning this will surely brighten up your classroom.
