Phase 2 Phonics s a t p i n (set 1 of 4)

What’s included?

This download includes x2 A4 pdf sheets (portrait orientation) which includes an activity sheet and answers for the Phase 2 sounds s a t p i n.

What’s it for?

This activity set has proven to keep little hands very busy and focused while reinforcing phase 2 phonic knowledge of the first six sounds s a t p i n. This has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for individuals/groups to be getting on with independently - ideal when calm and focus is needed, e.g. during guided/quiet reading sessions.

Who’s it for?

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

How to use it?

Each learner needs to cut out and match two ‘phoneme pictures’ to every grapheme (printed on the left side). Dotted lines guide where to cut, though the picture-squares could be pre-cut for those who struggle with cutting out.

Resource Details…

• Set 1 s - scissors, snake a - apple, avocado t - torch, tractor p - panda, pear (learners should watch out not to confuse ‘needle’ with ‘pin’) i - ink, igloo n - narwhal, needle (learners should watch out not to confuse ‘needle’ with ‘pin’)

Optional Extension

Adding the word labels is optional and best provided as an extension for more able/quick learners. These tiny labels can be cut out and added under each ‘phoneme picture’, though the phoneme/grapheme matching should be completed first. The word labels are not consistently sound-out-able and learners would need to use their knowledge of the phonemes/graphemes already matched during the activity and look at the initial/final letter sounds to help them.

Important message…

Phase 2 (x4 sets) and Phase 3 (x5 sets) are also available if you like this activity set.
