Develop Foundational Literacy Skills with our Phonics Worksheets

 

English consists of about 44 sounds, but has more than 170 different ways to represent these sounds in writing. This is one reason that learning to read can be so challenging! Phonics can make this process easier. Early reading instruction should focus on systematic synthetic phonics in order to teach kids to recognise the patterns within these sound-letter correspondences. The better kids become at decoding letter-sound combinations, the better readers and spellers they will be.


Mrs Wordsmith's curriculum-aligned range of materials includes lots of phonics practice, based on systematic synthetic phonics. If you’re looking for phonics workbooks, phonics games, or phonics practice worksheets, look no further. All of our resources are science-based and informed by the latest research and expertise in reading instruction. They’re designed to help kids develop foundational literacy skills at home or in the classroom.


Try our Foolproof Phonics worksheets, which are structured as a step-by-step programme. These teaching-phonics worksheets take kids through the different levels of phonics learning, exactly the way they do it in school. Kids will learn to identify sound-letter correspondences (our printable phonics worksheets include unique audio support with recordings to enhance word-learning and give kids plenty of opportunity to listen and learn), and grapheme-phoneme correspondences. Through systematic synthetic phonics instruction, kids learn the sounds that different graphemes make in a structured way, progressing from the most common to the rarest. Foolproof Phonics Part 1 and 2 are available as printable phonics worksheets pdfs that you can download and print at home. 


To help support classroom and home learning with our Foolproof Phonics practice worksheets, we also created a teaching manual explaining the levels of phonics learning. The manual is called Deep Dive Phonics, and can be downloaded for free from our website. 


If you’re looking for more phonics activities worksheets, our Gargantuan Year 1 workbook covers an entire year of English learning, including phonics, vocabulary, grammar, high-frequency words, handwriting, and more. Our phonics sheets are generally built for kids in Year 1 or younger, but older kids who need a bit of extra revision may find them useful as well.


Phonics exercises for kids don't have to be boring, and our illustrated phonics worksheets and workbooks are anything but! Still, everyone needs a break from staring at paper. You can take the excitement to the next level with our Blah Blah Blah Phonics Card Game, a hilariously fun card game that helps kids learn to read using fast-paced gameplay.


Our phonics resources are the perfect tools to facilitate this phase of kids’ learning and encourage them to embark upon a lifetime of reading. Backed by research and designed with experts, they make learning to read so fun that kids won't even realise they're doing it.
