Phase 2 picture word/picture cards to read/match

What’s included?

x7 sheets each sheet with x12 cards to read and match (x84 cards in total). Portrait orientation, pdf format (x4 sets included).

What's it for?

This is resource is designed for learners to match simple CVC words with pictures by sounding out each word (applying their phase 2 phonic knowledge) then looking for the matching picture. Cards have been grouped (and are colour coded) within phase 2 for learners to access according to the extent of their phase 2 phonic knowledge at any particular time - the more sounds they know the more cards they can access.

Who’s it for?

This ‘Phase 2’ phonics picture and word matching set has been designed to be a simple activity to consolidate learning. This set focuses on ALL sounds in Phase 2 s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss.

This activity is ideal for groups/individuals to be getting on with independently and/or for learners to revisit these sounds with an adult.

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