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 resource set features letter and picture cards for the sounds 's, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss'.

The activity is designed to help learners recognise and match grapheme cards with corresponding picture cards. Once a pair is matched, students place both cards on "word boards" to practice sounding out the words. Phoneme dots are included on the cards to clearly indicate how many sounds are in each word.

Who’s it for?

This resource is ideal for children in hte Early Years who are just beginning to learn these sounds, as well as for those who need extra practice or reinforcement. It can also be used with older learners who need to revisit Phase 2 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)
