Support early reading with our practical and engaging Phase 2 phonics resources. Designed to cover all 23 phonemes taught at this stage, our activities can be used alongside a wide range of systematic synthetic phonics (SSP) programmes — including popular schemes such as Little Wandle.
Perfect for Reception teachers, TAs and home educators, these resources include flashcards, worksheets, games and sentence-level tasks to support phoneme recognition, blending and tricky word reading. Everything is included with your free trial.
Phase 2 introduces children to 23 phonemes, taught in sets, starting with the most common single-letter sounds and progressing to simple digraphs like ck, ff, ll and ss. This phase builds the foundations of early reading and writing, focusing on segmenting and blending CVC words, recognising letter–sound correspondences, and beginning to write short captions.
Our resources cover the full Phase 2 teaching sequence used in many phonics programmes, including schemes such as Little Wandle, while remaining consistent with the 2007 DfE Letters and Sounds framework.
Our Phase 2 phonics materials are designed to help you deliver focused, engaging teaching without hours of prep. From sound flashcards and word cards to blending games and letter formation sheets, you’ll find what you need to support every part of your phonics session — including whole-class input, group tasks and interventions.
We also include support for Phase 2 tricky words such as to, no, go and the, with printable tricky word cards, rainbow writing sheets and sentence-level reading tasks.
Every resource is printable and ready to use, making it easy to follow your phonics progression and support all pupils — including those who need a little extra practice.
Whether you’re following Little Wandle, Letters and Sounds or another validated phonics scheme, our Phase 2 resources are flexible, effective, and created by teachers who understand the classroom. Use them to build pupil confidence, track progress, and make phonics teaching something children really enjoy.
