Phase 2 Letter/picture match cards and reading words (with answers) Whole Set

What’s included?

x17 sheets for all Phase 2 sounds. Letter/picture cards (to match) in portrait orientation. 'Word boards’ (to organise letter/picture cards on and read words) - in landscape orientation. All pdf format.

What's it for?

This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce all of Phase 2 sounds s a t p i n m d g o c k ck e u r h b f f. Learners are encouraged to recognise letter (grapheme) cards and match these with the corresponding pictures, into pairs. Once matched learners place both (picture and letter) cards together onto 'word boards' where they can sound out the words. Phoneme dots make clear how many sounds there are in each word.

Who’s it for?

This resource has been designed for Early Years children who are learning Phase 2 sounds for the first time, pupils in Year 1 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds. This resource is also ideal for older learners with additional learning needs who need to revisit these sounds.

How to use it?

This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce all of Phase 2 sounds. Learners match images with the corresponding sound (grapheme), then place these on the correct 'word board' to sound the whole word out.

Answer cards are included in a clear format for learners to reference themselves, encouraging autonomy.

Resource Details

The Phase 2 sounds s a t p i n/m d g o c k/ck e r u b h/f ff l ll ss have been grouped into four sets to avoid learners becoming overwhelmed and making it easier to focus practise on individual sounds as necessary. Each set can be used alone or sets can be mixed together to increase the level of challenge for learners.

Red set s a t p i n - Set 1 s stamp a ant t tap p pan i ink n nest (contains ‘e’ - introduced later, with set 3)

Orange Set m d g o c k - Set 2 m map d dog g gift (contains ‘f’ ‘ introduced later, with set 4) o octagon (although this is a longer word it can be sounded out using sounds from sets 1 and 2. IF learners know this 2D shape). The ‘a’ in the centre of this word may be pronounced in different ways and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky c cat k kit (e.g. football/PE kit)

Yellow Set ck e u r h b - Set 3 ck duck (the only ‘end’ sound in this set so may catch out some learners) e egg (double ‘g’ may be an issue though the ‘g’ letters together only have one ‘g’ sound) u up (escalator - arrow indicates this) r rat (not to be confused with ‘mouse’) h hen (not to be confused with ‘chicken’) b bag

Green Set f ff l ll ss - Set 4 f frog ff daffodil (‘middle’ sound may catch out some learners). Learners will need to know this particular flower or may just associate this image with ‘flower’ (for ‘f’) The ‘o’ in the centre of this word may be pronounced ‘oa’ and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky. l lemon The ‘o’ in the centre of this word may be pronounced ‘u’ and confuse learners so is ‘red’ to identify that this grapheme may be tricky. ll bell (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners) ss grass (‘end’ sound may catch out some learners)
