Grapheme Mats for Year 1 (pack of 10): Phases 2, 3 and 5 (Big Cat Phonics for Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised)

Product Information

You will be able to see lessons screens and games now scale better on different devices, so you get a great experience whether you are viewing on a computer or a whiteboard. Partnership with Collins Big Cat means we have decodable books exactly matched to our progression, plus a full range of teaching resources including word cards, wall friezes and grapheme cards featuring our joyful illustrations.

A reading practice book. This will be at the correct phonic stage for your child. They should be able to read this fluently and independently. On the sound mats, graphemes that represent the same phoneme are now grouped, to help make the mat easier to use. Teachers told us that children sometimes found it difficult to ‘drag and drop’ letters on the teaching screens. We’ve made improvements so users can simply tap the item them want to select, then tap where they want the item to drop. A sharing book. Your child will not be able to read this on their own. This book is for you both to read and enjoy together.

Find a Scheme of Work

Although your child will be taught to read at school, you can have a huge impact on their reading journey by continuing their practice at home. Listen to them read the book. Remember to give them lots of praise – celebrate their success! If they can’t read a word, read it to them. After they have finished, talk about the book together. This book has been carefully matched to your child’s current reading level. If your child is reading it with little help, please don’t worry that it’s too easy – your child needs to develop fluency and confidence in reading.

We’ve also made sure any part of the lesson screen children might interact with is big enough to make it easy to manipulate, and in an area of the screen children can reach! For each mat and poster, you can access a full colour version that’s beautiful to display or laminate, as well as a simpler B&W version that’s easier to print and can be a better option for those children who found the full colour version with decorations too distracting. All mats and charts are now available as part of your subscription, so you can print the resources at the size that works best for your class. Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised has been developed by Wandle and Little Sutton English Hubs and taken forward by Little Sutton Primary School and Wandle Learning Trust in partnership with other phonics and early reading experts.
