2D Shape Matching Set (Square cards)
£1.50
(0)
What’s included?This download includes x7 A4, portrait pdf 2D shape sheets featuring x36 matching cards.Who’s it for?This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.What’s it for?This resources is to name, count (the sides of) and match 2D shapes to the correct word label. There are x4 ‘answer cards’ included in the set which clearly list the pairs of shapes (pictures and names) on page 4. Learners could use these to help them match the cards or refer to them after they have completed the matching activity, encouraging autonomy.How to use this resourceThis matching activity has been designed to be an activity for an individual or group where the square (cards) are already cut up (and hole punched!), shuffled and displayed either loosely on a table top/carpet or already attached on the ring. Learners then look at each 2D shape image and (if they are able) name this. Learners can also count the number of sides of each shape and match the picture to the name label to complete the set. Once the set is matched into pairs (images and labels together) learners can then order the pairs from the least number of sides to the most (or vice versa!)2D shapes included are oval, ellipse, semi circle, circle, triangle, equilateral triangle, right-angled triangle, square, rectangle, trapezium, parallelogram, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon.This 2D shape matching set could also be used as a reference resource for learners e.g. to help remember the number of sides and/or cross-check the name/spelling of individual shapes if unsure when writing these down.This ‘shape match’ set could also be used for a variety of ways, both inside and outdoors (especially if laminated to improve durability in all types of weather!) Hide and seek match could make a fun game where one half of the set (e.g. all the 2D shape pictures cards or all the name label cards) are missing and learners need to find them and match them up.SuggestionBrightly coloured plastic keyrings (which can be easily opened by unclipping the plastic) as seen on the main resource image are ideal for this resource and can be purchased online easily. Alternatively string or thin ribbon would work well. If a small piece of velcro was attached to both ends of string/ribbon with some strong glue this would help learners to be more independent using this resource.Important message…ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.Feedback of this resource would be brilliant.

Lines of symmetry 2D shapes investigation
£1.50
(0)
What’s included?x5 sheets, portrait orientation, pdf format.What’s it for?This resource has been designed to encourage learners to investigate the various lines of symmetry within x8 2D shapes.This investigation can be done by cutting/folding (ideally first) then recording these finding by drawing the lines of symmetry (using a ruler) onto the shapes on the sheet. Black and white AND colour versions of both sheets (cut/fold, drawing lines versions) included.Who’s it for?This resource has been designed for pupils in years one and two as well as older students who need to revisit this or students needing additional learning support.This resource may also be suitable for children in EYFS although with younger ages it would probably be a good idea to upscale the sheets to a larger size (on a photocopier/scanner) first.How to use it?The learner can explore lines of symmetry in two ways, either using a pencil and ruler or cutting out the shapes and folding them to investigate the lines of symmetry.SuggestionI would encourage learners to investigate the lines of symmetry within these 2D shapes by first cutting out the shapes (using the colour/black and white version designed for this - see pages 3 and 4). Once pupils have investigated these by folding they could then use pages 1/2 (colour/black and white) to record their findings with a pencil and ruler.Using safety mirrors along side cutting and folding AND when recording the ‘answers’ (using a pencil and ruler) will really help pupils to become clear and accurate in their mind as to whether they have found the line of symmetry.Important…Pupils should be encouraged to find the middle/centre of each shape first and ensure that they fold/draw a line ‘through’ this centre point in order to be accurate in their findings.Answers are included on a separate page in the same format which learners could use for quick, easy reference.Resource Detailslines of symmetry (or recording ‘answers after investigation) using a pencil and ruler in colour (page 3) and black and white (page 4). Pupils will need a pencil and a ruler each.*Investigating lines of symmetry by folding. x8 2D shapes will need cutting out (these could be pre-cut for pupils who find cutting out challenging). Pale grey, dotted ‘cutting out guidelines’ are included. Pupils will need a pencil (to ensure their write their name on their cut-out shapes!) and a pair of scissors each.2D shapes included are right angled triangle, equilateral triangle, heart, circle, square, rectangle, pentagon and hexagon.Important message…ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.Feedback of this resource would be brilliant.

Alphabet match - h l m n r (Green Set)
£2.50
(0)
What’s included?This download includes x5 pdfs, portrait in colour each featuring ten images that all begin with one sound - h, l, m, n, r.What’s it for?This resource is to enable learners to practise identifying the first (initial) sound (phoneme) of objects (images) and match these with the correct, matching letter (grapheme).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, revisiting any/all of these sounds.How to use it?An adult prints each sheet out (ideally onto card) and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate the ‘letters’ from the ‘images’ (instructions are included on each sheet itself). These pieces (images and letters) can then be placed on a table top for learners to match - the image with the matching/correct initial letter sound as a two part mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the images which have the same initial letter.I have grouped the letters of the alphabet together. This sheet is part of the ‘Green Set’ and designed to be used with letters h, l, m, n, r. Exploring this set together gives learners the opportunity to become more familiar with these letters by looking at them more closely. Other sets in this same design are coming.This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising these letters and identifying the correct initial letter (phonics) sound for ten images (per letter).Resource DetailsThe images chosen all have a clear initial letter sound at the beginning but are not words which can easily be sounded out. The focus of this activity is purely to identify the initial letter sound for these images - the cross (top right of each image) indicates that these images are not to be sounded out.The layout of every letter/sound in this set is in the same format, making this a predictable and structured activity, ideal to keep learners engaged and independent.Resource layoutThe font used is ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ - size 120, so a large, ‘easy to read’ size.The images included for each letter are:hhouseheartheadheadphonesholidayhotelhoneyhivehorsehoodiellionlemurladybird (on a leaf)leaflife jacketlimelighteninglighthouselead (for dog walking)lavammicroscopemousemoustachemayonnaisemicrophonemountainsmonkeymonths (including March and May)megaphonemoosenneedlenursenosenewspapernarwhalnectarinenoodlesnotebooknecklacenine (including x9 nine sided ‘nonagon’ shapes)rrabbitradiorulerrattlerobotrhinocerosrubbishrecycle/recycling and recycling rubbish truckrecord on record playerrectangleImportant message…ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.Feedback of this resource would be brilliant.

Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin. The six words have each been repeated three times (in three columns) left to right.There are clear, visual, instructions at the top of the sheet, in three parts (left to right). In the centre (at the top) the colour order to follow is clearly illustrated, guiding learners to begin with dark green, follow light green, pale yellow, mid yellow, orange and then red to ‘stop’. Not all letters have enough steps to follow through using all of these colours.This resource has been designed for learners to write one word at a time, gradually reducing the level of support provided (left to right). E.g. learners begin with the word on the left (in the first column) and once they have written this they move onto the same word, to the right (in the centre/column two). Lastly learners write the same word a third time on the right (column three).The first word (column one) has a green (‘go’) starting dot, coloured arrows around the outside of each letter to show the direction to move the pencil from the beginning to the end red (‘stop’) dot.The second word (column two) also includes a green starting (‘go’) dot and red (‘stop’) dot as well as one arrow per letter making clear the initial direction the pencil should move in.The third word (column three) includes a dark grey starting dot and light grey stop dot for each letter. Learners will need to use the knowledge they have learnt from writing each word twice before to complete writing ‘word three’ more independently.At the base of the sheet there is also a space to further practise writing each of these words twice and smaller (each positioned on a line). The words at the base of the sheet only have a grey starting dot to help learners.There is a clear space at the lowest edge of the sheet for learners to write their name and at the top of the sheet (right side) a space for the number date - helpful to keep track of progress if learners revisit this activity if needed.The font used in the coloured boxes is Sassoon Infant Std - size 65. The words at the base of the sheet are the same font but smaller - size 40.Important message…ANY issues with any of this please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.New online service coming soon with FREE downloads (including this resource) available!Feedback of this resource would be wonderful!

What’s included?This download includes x2 A4, pdf sheets (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting the (similar shaped) lowercase letters l, t, i, j.Who’s it for?This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.These resources have been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing letters which are visually similar. This resource set should help in providing some focused additional support looking at these letters together, reinforcing the correct way of writing letters with similar shapes.Resource detailsThe font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write.I have grouped these letters into pairs - l/t and i/j.There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the number date at the top, right of the sheet, helpful to keep completed sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time.All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.Important message…ANY issues with this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.Feedback of this resource would be brilliant!

Handwriting similar letters - b / d
£1.00
(0)
What’s included?This download includes one A4, pdf sheet (portrait orientation) to practise handwriting two lowercase letters b and d.What’s it for?These resources have been designed to focus on the common confusion there can be for some learners when writing the letters ‘b’ and ‘d’ which are visually very similar. This resource should help in providing some focused additional support looking at b and d together.Who’s it for?This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one and two as well as older students needing additional learning support.Resource detailsThe font used is Sassoon Infant Std - size 100.This activity has been designed to write straight on. Each letter has a clear ‘starting dot’ so learners know where to place their pencil to begin and dotted lines on top of letters provide guidance of where exactly to write.This resource focuses on the letter b for the first x4 lines then letter d for the next x4 lines. The last line focuses on both letters - b then d. Each line has been designed to become slightly more challenging in terms of the visual support provided.There is a clear space for learners to write their name on the line at the base of the sheet. There is also a clear space to record the number date at the top, right of the sheet, helpful to keep completed sheets and track progress (and improvement!) over time.All letters are positioned on a line - to model how letters should look when positioned correctly on a line.Lines 1 and 5These letters are shaded a with pale grey and have an outline to help guide learners writing inside the line. The first b/d on line 1/5 begins with a clear colour-coded letter showing exactly where to begin - on the green ‘go dot’ (step 1) . Learners follow the colour coded numbered dots to the final red ‘stop dot’.Lines 2 and 6These letters are the same as on lines 1/5, however the letters do not have the ‘outline’ guiding learners to keep ‘inside’ of the lines.Lines 3 and 7These letters do not have an outline or grey base colour, only a starting dot and grey dotted lines.Lines 4 and 8These letters have a grey base colour and a starting dot but do not include guiding dotted lines. Learners will need to remember the directions to form these letters by themselves.Line 9This is a repeat of the style of the letters as previously introduced (as arranged vertically) to encourage learners to become more independent as the move right along the line when in writing these letters. Learners will also need to switch from writing b’s to d’s in the middle of line 9.Important message…ANY issues with this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.Feedback of this resource would be brilliant!

Phase 2 Phonics x4 sets Matching cut/stick
£1.75
(0)
What’s included?This download includes x8 A4 pdf sheets (portrait orientation) which includes an activity sheet and answers for ALL sounds in Phase 2 split into x4 activity sets.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.What’s it for?This ‘Phase 2’ phonics practise activity set has kept little hands very busy and focused (for me!) I hope the same will be true for you! This has been designed to be a simple, predictable activity to promote independence and consolidate learning. This activity is ideal for groups to be getting on with independently.Phase 3 (x5 sets) in same design is also available in my TES shop if you like this one.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…I split ‘phase 2’ into four sets, one set per sheet. Not all phonemes are ‘initial’ letters (in sets 3 and 4 here) - so learners may need this pointing out before working on these independently if you want them to be kept focused.Set 1s - scissors, snakea - apple, avocadot - torch, tractorp - panda, pear (learners should watch out not to confuse ‘needle’ with ‘pin’)i - ink, igloon - narwhal, needle (NOT ‘pin’!)Set 2m - mouse, milkd - dog (dachshund, ‘double d’ !), dinosaur (diplodocus, also ‘double d’ !)g - glasses (green - ‘double g’ ! ), goato - (orange) octopus (double ‘o’!), orangec - cat, clockk - key, kangarooSet 3ck - sock, duck (‘end’ sound here so may catch out some learners)e - elephant, eggu - umbrella (upside -down ‘double u’ !), up (stairs - arrow indicates this)r - robot, rainbowh - horse, houseb - balloon (blue - ‘double b’ !), beeSet 4ck - truck, black (‘ck’ is reinforced (repeated from ‘Set 3’) instead of leaving a gap)f - frog, fishff - giraffe, coffeel - lemon, leafll - bull, ballss - grass, dressOptional ExtensionAdding 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…ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.Feedback of this resource would be brilliant.

Two sets of x3 - a colour and black and white version of the same resource plus a sheet of ‘paper Skittles’ to cut up and sort/count (if you don’t want to risk your learners eating their learning!)This activity is organised around one random amount (portion) of Skittles - each learner will need their own portion. Learners could be given a real Skittles or ‘paper/cardboard Skittles’.On the bar chart there is space for up to x24 Skittles of one colour so the amount of Skittles given to learners can be any number to fit their ability, however no more than x24 of any one colour group if you intend for learners to use the bar chart (pages 3/5).Page 1Learners are to sort their portion of Skittles into x5 colour groups (red, orange, yellow, green and purple). Learners then count the number of Skittles in each group and write the total in each colour group ‘total’ box.Page 2Using the information recorded on page 1 learners then transfer this information to the simple, clear bar chart. Learners can colour the same number of ‘colour’ boxes for each colour group of Skittles.Page 3Using the information gathered through completing the activities on pages 1 and 2 the questions on page 3 are related to the same number (portion) of Skittles. All colour-names are printed clearly at the top of page 3 so that learners don’t need to think about colour-word spellings. Questions are related to ‘most’, ’least’, ’the same’, ’the difference between’, ’odd’ and ‘even’ numbers.Important message…ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.Feedback of this resource would be brilliant.

This sheet is part of the ‘Orange Set’ and designed to be used with letters b, d, g, p and q. I have grouped these letters of the alphabet together according to their similar ‘shape’ and as I know confusing b and d can be a common issue for learners.

Other sets in this same design are available.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, revisiting any/all of these sounds.How to use it?An adult prints each sheet out (ideally onto card) and cuts along the dotted lines, including to separate the ‘letters’ from the ‘images’ (instructions are included on each sheet itself). These pieces (images and letters) can then be placed on a table top for learners to match - the image with the matching/correct initial letter sound as a two part mini jigsaw puzzle. Each letter only fits the images which have the same initial letter.This is a fun and engaging way to practise recognising these letters and identifying the correct initial letter (phonics) sound for ten images (per letter).Resource DetailsThe images chosen all have a clear initial letter sound at the beginning but are not words which can easily be sounded out.

Set of x5 CVC Words Activities Phase 2/3
£3.50
(0)
What’s included?This download includes x15 A4, portrait pdf sheets to practise reading and writing CVC words mostly within Phase 2. Sounds from Phase 3 include j, v, w, z and sh.Who’s it for?This resource has been designed for early years children, pupils in years one as well as older students needing additional learning support.What’s it for?This activity is interactive and encourages learners to sound out and read simple CVC words and think about what these words mean. Some words of course may have more than one meaning, however for the purpose of this activity I have only provided one illustration for every word. For ‘new’ words learners may need to work by process of elimination to identify the correct word/picture combination to record this (in writing) on the sheet provided.Resource DetailsThere are x5 (colour coded) sets included here. Each set includes one ‘CVC wheel’ to make with easy to follow instructions. Once the wheel is assembled when turned different initial letters are revealed to make x9 CVC words per wheel.ALL words are ‘real’ (not ‘nonsense’) words.CVC words include the sounds ‘an’, ‘et’, ‘ip’, ‘og’ and ‘ug’DifferentiationAlso included is one sheet in two levels of difficulty. The first sheet only has the initial sound missing (easier), the second sheet has ALL letters missing - for learners to write on the lines provided (more challenging). The level of difficulty is indicated by an icon at the base of each sheet (right side) - green for easier, red for more challenging.There is a clear space for learners to write their name at the base of each sheet (left side). The CVC phonics wheel can be reused time and again.SuggestionI suggest printing and making the phonics wheel out of card which is stronger so more robust than paper and easier to turn.Important message…ANY issues with any of this resource please don’t hesitate to let me know - I am happy to make changes.Feedback of this resource would be brilliant.
