Pictures and Captions Writing Frames - Look at the pictures and think of a simple caption to write below. For example, the first picture would be "Pat a dog." or "Pat the dog" or "A hand pats a dog." Use your phonics to segment the sounds in each word to help you write the captions. Remember to use capital letters, finger spaces, and full stops in your sentences.

Below are some phonics games to help the children practice what they've learned:

Odd Sound Out You will see a number of picture cards arranged around a single blank card. Children should look at each picture card and say what they see in each picture. They can check if they are right by clicking on the pictures and listening to the word. The child should focus on the first ‘sound’ they make when they say each word. Which of those four sounds is different to the others? That is the odd card out. Children then move that card to the middle.

Phonics Review and Blending Practice Explore the following game to find different ways to review the sounds in Phase 2 and 3, including lots of words for the children to blend.

Pick a Picture - Phonics Play On the "Choose Your Phase" screen, you can pick 'Phase 2' or 'Phase 3 (Sets 6 and 7)' - Do not choose the digraphs as we haven't learned them yet. The children should blend to read the word and choose the correct picture.

Buried Treasure Drag the coins with the real words on them to the treasure. Drag the fake words to the trash!

Real or Nonsense Word Activity: In Year 1, the children will have a "Phonics Screening Check" - One of the activities in this check is for the children to blend to read a word and decide whether or not it is a real word or tricky word. You can use this activity to help practice blending phonetically decodable words and sorting them into "Bob" if they are real or "Obb" if they are nonsense words. This activity will require lots of blending/discussion about the word.
