These resources are designed to support fluency, spelling confidence and quick recall during daily phonics teaching.
These activities work well for whole-class phonics teaching, small-group support, interventions and independent revision.
During Phase 5 phonics, pupils learn alternative spellings, alternative pronunciations and more complex grapheme patterns while continuing to revisit tricky words. Secure recognition helps pupils read more fluently and spell more confidently across KS1.
