Phase 2 Phonics CVC word wheel Read/Write - Real/Nonsense words

What’s included?

This download includes three A4, portrait pdf sheet to practise reading and writing CVC words within Phase 2.

What's it for?

This resource explores CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant, e.g. 'dog') words to read and write. Learners use their phonic knowledge to make and read words (using the phonics wheel provided). Learners then write these words in a list - deciding if the word is 'real' or 'nonsense'.

Who’s it for?

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

Resource Details

The layout includes x2 wheels, one for the ‘front’ (wheel 1) and one for the back - with the x2 sets of vowels on (wheel 2). Once assembled (according to instructions included on the pdf) the CVC Phonics Wheel can be turned to reveal one vowel in the centre of the two consonants displayed/written on the front of the wheel. The wheel can be turned clockwise or anticlockwise, the direction doesn’t matter.

Some words will be ‘real’ e.g. den/hen/men/pen and some words will not be real/will be ‘nonsense’ words e.g. len/ren - these can be written on page 3 - there is space for x10 real and x10 nonsense words to be written here and a clear space for learners to write their name (at the base of the sheet).

Suggestion

For older, more able learners this activity could be linked to looking up new words in the dictionary to find out if they are/are not real words and if they are ‘real’ words e.g. ‘fen’ find out what their meanings are (Fen is used to refer to an area of low, flat, wet land, especially in the east of England).
