Writing colour words - Phonics phases 2, 3, 5

What’s included? x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format.

Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for learners in the Early Years and Years 1 and 2 who have learnt Phase 2, 3 and 5 sounds. This resource is also ideal for older pupils who need some practise/reinforcement of these sounds.

What’s it for? This colour-word writing resource enables learners to use their phonic knowledge (from phonics phases 2, 3 and 5) to write each of the x8 colour-words included.

This activity is ideal for individuals to be getting on with independently and has been designed to promote autonomy - clear answers are included yet are to be folded out of sight for learners to then check themselves after having a try.

This could also be used by learners to revisit/practise writing these sounds with an adult.

How to use it? Each colour (balloon) has the correct number of lines underneath for learners to sound out each colour word and write the graphemes (on these lines). Where more than one letter forms the grapheme the line provided is wider/longer, guiding learners on whether the phoneme is one letter or two.

Resource Details… The colour of each tick (above each balloon) indicates which phonics phase the sounds for that word are from making this ideal to target specific phonics areas and encouraging learners to practise their knowledge in this (colour word) context.

The words included are: Phase 2 red, pink, black Phase 3 yellow, green, brown, silver Phase 5 blue
