Letters and sounds - Santa's face sound mat

This could be used as an assessment tool. Children to put a piece of cotton wool on each sound they know. It could also be used as a sound mat so children can see how the letters are formed and as a reminder when writing independantly. You could also use it for games. Find the beginning sound for 'cat', find the beginning sound for 'dog', What sound comes at the end of 'tick'. It could also be used as a bingo game.

Phonic rules

Lots of useful information here for those less confident or new to synthetic phonics. Would be a good handout for parents too.
