Phonics Phase 2 m d g o c k Activity Set

What’s included?

x6 sheets (activities and answers) for Phase 2 Set 2 (letters - m d g o c k). Landscape orientation, pdf format.

What’s it for?

This activity set has been designed to practise and reinforce the next six sounds in Phase 2 - m d g o c k. Learners match pictures and sounds (as puzzles) to complete images and make a simple words to read. Learners can then use these completed puzzles to fill out missing words in sentences (either separate sentences or all sentences on one sheet) to complete, then read whole (simple) sentences.

Who’s it for?

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

How to use it?

All words on the ‘picture puzzles’ only use the sounds ‘m d g o c k’.

• Picture/word puzzles Pages 1 and 2 An adult cuts out the x10 puzzle shapes following dotted lines. The segments of all x10 ‘picture/word puzzles’ can then be shuffled and placed on a table top for learners to match.

Once the segments of each picture/word puzzle are completed each of the x9 words can be read. The completed ‘picture puzzles’ can be used as a reference to complete the missing words for x10 sentences (pages 3-5).

• Writing words/reading sentences Pages 3-6 There are two versions of the same x10 sentences to complete, each has a missing word with a clear space for each of the missing letters (graphemes) to be written. A larger format version of the sentences set out individually (pages 3 and 4) which can be cut up (perhaps laminated) and written on (if laminated - with a dry wipe/wipe clean pen).

The smaller scale version (page 5) has the same x10 sentences but all on one page for learners to complete with a pencil, as a ‘worksheet’.

Answers are included on page 6 in the same format which learners can use for quick, easy reference.
