AR Phonics Worksheets: 5 FREE!

5 FREE AR Phonics Worksheets — For 5–6-Year-Olds and ESL/EFL Learners

Teaching phonics effectively doesn't have to mean hours of preparation. These ready-to-use worksheets have been designed with busy parents and teachers in mind — clear, purposeful, and straightforward to pick up and use from the first session.

This free sample pack contains five worksheets focusing on the CK spelling pattern.

While the sound itself is introduced early in most phonics programmes, these worksheets are pitched at a higher level — they expect more of the pupil. The activities are designed for children who are ready to work with greater independence, handle more on a page, and apply what they know rather than recognise it. That makes them equally well suited to higher-achieving five and six-year-olds and to older ESL and EFL learners working through English spelling conventions for the first time.

Each worksheet has been carefully structured to build confidence and reinforce learning through focused reading and spelling practice, with some comprehension work included where appropriate. The clean, uncluttered layout keeps the emphasis on the sound and the task.

Suitable for:

• Home educators

• Classroom teachers

• Tutors

• SEN teachers

• ESL and EFL teachers

Working at grades:

Year 1 / Grade 1 / Ages 5–6 (higher-achieving), and older ESL/EFL learners.Eco-friendly printing

Black and white throughout, so printing costs stay low.

These worksheets sit alongside any phonics programme you are already using. Whether you are following a school scheme, home educating, or supporting a learner with additional needs, they slot in without disrupting your existing approach.
