Sentence Strips
Short target sound-spelling sentences to support, review and consolidate your teaching. Also provides ideas for sentence structure work. Use for dictation and sentence instruction too. 
 
Spot it and Sort it 
Spot it and sort it organisers.  Use after explicit instruction for guided decoding practice.

Games
Playing games helps to consolidate previous learning. All children need lots of exposure to vowel spellings to develop fluent decoding. Games don’t replace reading books. All children should be reading several books daily. But if a child struggles to read and needs lots of extra practice, blending to read games can help motivation and engagement. Use the sheets to review past sounds and spellings before moving on to spelling or sentence instruction.
