Phase 2 Grapheme and Picture Cards – Aligned with the Updated 2021 Letters and Sounds Progression

Support early phonics learning with this set of Phase 2 grapheme and picture cards. Designed to help children link each grapheme to its corresponding sound and a meaningful image, this resource aligns with the updated 2021 Letters and Sounds progression now followed by many schools.

Each card features a Phase 2 grapheme alongside a matching picture, making it easier for pupils to connect the sound to real-world objects and contexts. Includes key digraphs such as ck, sh, th, and ng.

Use these cards to:

  • Introduce and reinforce Phase 2 GPCs through visual support
  • Encourage phoneme recognition with engaging images
  • Support independent and small-group activities
  • Create interactive displays or sorting games

This set is ideal for Reception phonics teaching, interventions or 1:1 support, and helps lay strong foundations for reading and spelling success.

Teaching tip: Use the picture side first to prompt the sound, then flip to reveal the grapheme for quick-fire practice.
