Play Phonics Foundations
Recognise selected graphemes, match written sound-spelling sequences and complete supplied words with guided choices. Saving is off unless you choose it.
Practise part of this topic. Phonics Foundations provides guided recognition of selected grapheme categories, matching of written sound-spelling sequences to words, identification of adjacent consonant letters and word-specific spelling completion. It offers partial support for topics 2238, 2239, 3217 and 3219, with the pronunciation model made explicit. It does not assess sound-only phonological awareness, independent spoken blending or segmentation, decoding, pronunciation, oral fluency, spelling production, handwriting or complete phonics mastery. Adults may model the examples using the learner’s phonics programme and regional pronunciation.

Spell Words Containing Phonemes
Start here
Focus on adjacent consonants at start and end of words. Start with “Find Adjacent Consonants at the End of Words”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 1 learners practise adjacent consonants at start and end of words.
The activities include Find Adjacent Consonants at the End of Words, Identify Adjacent Consonants at the Beginning and End of Words, Practise Finding Adjacent Consonants, and related practice. The checked support below includes teaching, worksheet, video. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.

Practise the selected skills below. Each pack explains what it covers and what to try next.
Keep every sound in consonant clusters
Notice separate adjacent consonant sounds, segment and blend words, and record adult dictation. Printed tile work and spelling from memory remain distinct evidence. Partial practice does not establish spelling mastery across unfamiliar words.
