Who’s it for?
This resource has been designed for pupils in Year 1 who are learning these sounds (and words) for the first time, pupils in Y2 who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds/words. This resource could support pupils with EAL (English as an Additional Language) and older learners with additional learning needs.

Adults pre-cut along dotted lines and shuffle the set of x17 words (and images) then place cards face-up on the carpet/a table top for learners to read and match.
Resource Details…
These words are from the first 200 high frequency word list.
Words have been organised depending on which phonics phase they fit in with. This coded system is made clear by a 'key' displayed top, right on every page of the resource.
- underlined indicates that together underlined letters have one sound, for example ‘sh’ in ‘shoe’
- red letters indicate the tricky/irregular letters, e.g. 'gi' in 'giant' or letters which may be pronounced differently e.g. the 'er' in 'water' is often pronounced as 'uh' or 'a'.
- the small white cross (top-left of each image box) indicates that these words are not intended to be sounded out, though (as said) if learners focus on the black letters in these words, along with the pictures, they may be able to identify words to read/match them
