Starting school is a big milestone for them and for you. And while you don’t need to sit them down with workbooks or get them writing before they start school, you can gently build the skills that will make learning to read and write so much easier.
 
This play-based activity ebook is packed with 60 fun, hands-on games designed to explore the Phase 2 sounds taught in Reception. (Some single letter sounds are not included as they are taught later on in Reception - q, v, w, x, y, z).
 
The activities helps your child:
• Strengthen their hands with pre-writing games that boost grip and control. 
• Explore letter formation through playful prompts (with a handy letter formation guide in the corner of each page).
• Develop key early reading skills like spotting rhymes, hearing sounds, and clapping out syllables.
 
It’s all about building confidence, curiosity and readiness without pressure and through play. 
 
You’ll get 3 different activities for each Phase 2 sound, so you can dip in and choose what suits your child’s mood that day. The focus is on connection, fun, and setting them up to thrive when September rolls around.
