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.
