Phonics Phase 2 Word/picture puzzles (x2 sets)

What’s included?

x4 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 (x2 sets included) for letters - s a t p i n AND m d g o c k. Landscape orientation, pdf format. There are x19 picture/word puzzles included.

What’s it for?

This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce the first twelve sounds in Phase 2 - s a t p i n m d g o c k. Learners match pictures and sounds (as puzzles) to complete images and make a simple words to read. All words on the ‘picture puzzles’ only use these sounds.

Who’s it for?

This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as students needing additional learning support.

How to use it?

This activity set has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate knowledge of the first set of letters/sounds introduced. These resources are also ideal to use to revisit these sounds later if learners need some additional support with these.

This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently when these sounds are first introduced as a quieter time activity or for an adult to provide some small group/one to one support revisiting these sounds.

Picture/word puzzles

Pages 1 and 2 An adult cuts out the x19 puzzle shapes following dotted lines. The segments of all x19 ‘picture/word puzzles’ can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to match. These two sets can be used separately or together - both are colour coded. Set 1 (letter ‘s a t p i n’) is red/pink, set 2 (letters ‘m d g o c k’) is orange/yellow.

Once the segments of each picture/word puzzle are completed each of the words can be read.
