Try our Phase 2 break the code activity for decoding practise, and our Phase 5 break the code activity for more advanced word reading.
Tricky word games help pupils build automatic recall and improve reading fluency in sentences.
Use our tricky word rainbows activity and our tricky words finger hopscotch game for regular practise.
These phonics games work well across Key Stage 1, supporting pupils who need extra practise with decoding, segmenting and tricky word reading.
Use them little and often to build confidence, strengthen phonics foundations and support steady reading progress.
