A Phase 3 phonics worksheet to help children practise reading the digraph /ee/.

Using two consonant dice and a vowel die, play this simple phonics game with your Reception child and roll and write CVC words.

Get weekly spelling practice organised with our printable spelling lists, blank and ready to be filled with your child's assigned words. Attach the list to the fridge for quick revision sessions before the weekly spelling test.

Introduce your child to spelling with a pack of simple spelling tests, designed to help them show off their new writing skills and reinforce the phonics and spelling work they're doing in the classroom.

When we put the letter o and a together it makes the sound /oa/ as in road and goat and coat. Cut out the phoneme frame and see how many real words you can make by adding consonants to the beginning and end of ‘oa’.

The letters b and d are often confused by children when they are earning to read. Show them this mnemonic to help them remember which is which, then practise writing b and d. Then, using the phoneme frame, put the b at the beginning of the word and the d at the end. Keep changing the vowel to see what the new word says.

In the phoneme frame below keep changing the first letter to read different words. How many different words can you come up with? Then answer these yes or no questions, then make up some of
your own using the ‘igh’ words.

When we put the letters o and w together we get the sound /ow/ – it sounds just like the sound you might say if you hurt yourself! Read the sentences in the puzzle pieces and then draw a picture to go
with the sentence. Then cut each of the sentence and picture pieces apart and see if somebody can put them back together again.
