About this resource

Help Year 1 children consolidate their phonics knowledge with this Christmas Themed Year 1 Missing Phonemes worksheet. This engaging seasonal activity provides an opportunity for children to revise Phase 3 digraphs while practising Phase 5 graphemes and alternative spellings. Children use their phonics knowledge to identify the missing phoneme or grapheme in each word and complete the word correctly. The Christmas theme provides a fun and engaging context for applying phonics skills to reading and spelling. Many of the words include alternative spellings for familiar sounds, helping children develop their understanding that the same phoneme can be represented by different graphemes. This provides valuable practice in recognising and applying different spelling patterns. This Year 1 phonics worksheet is ideal for children who are working with Phase 3 and Phase 5 sounds and need further opportunities to practise alternative spellings. It can be used during phonics lessons, as an independent literacy activity, for early finishers or as a phonics homework task. Skills supported include: Revising Phase 3 digraphs Recognising Phase 5 graphemes Identifying alternative spellings Understanding that sounds can be represented by different graphemes Identifying missing phonemes in words Applying phonics knowledge to spelling Developing reading and spelling skills Building confidence with independent phonics work This Christmas-themed Year 1 phonics activity is a useful and engaging resource for reinforcing phoneme-grapheme relationships and giving children additional practice with Phase 3 and Phase 5 phonics.Read more

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
