Junior Learning Year 2 Classroom Kit

The Year 2 Letters and Sounds Classroom Kit provides all the resources you need to complete the Letters and Sounds programme for your school at Year 2.

• Central to the programme is the Teacher Planner, which provides all the daily lessons for Year 2, along with references to decodables, supplementary resources and assessments. The Teacher Planner has a weekly and daily calendar so that lessons can be ordered according to the progression.

• In Year 2, this term completes Phase 5.5 (Sound Families / alternative sounds) and introduces the common prefixes. The remainder of the year continues with suffixes, homophones and revision work. By the completion of Year 2, children will become fluent readers and accurate spellers and writers. There are eight sets of 12 different decodable reader titles in the kit. Phase 6 readers include all the various letter sound patterns that the children have learnt throughout Letters and Sounds and provides further reading opportunities to practise decoding skills with more complex text. There are also two sets of 12 different decodable readers designed for explicitly teaching suffixes and these have been embedded within the texts. Overall, there are 6 x 96 decodable readers in this kit.

• For the completion of Phase 5.5 (Sound Families), the following resources are included: 12 Read and Write Decodables; Grapheme to Phoneme Cards, Common Exception Word Cards, Phoneme Frame Cards, and Alien Word Cards. Note, cards with phoneme frames have a dry wipe surface and can work with white board markers to further develop handwriting skills in the context of spelling and phonics. A Pop-Up directory provides quick access to all the spelling rules of phase 6 of Letters and Sounds, such as adding suffixes. There are also Suffixes cards to visually represent these rules and homophone cards to provide examples of different spelling patterns.
