- Fabulous at Phonics!

Christmas is a season of sparkle, story‑sharing, and proud little moments. It’s also the perfect time to make phonics feel joyful. When children discover how sounds blend together, it’s like watching the lights switch on: suddenly, words make sense and confidence begins to grow.
That’s why I’ve created the Free Christmas Phonics Pack: a festive resource designed to make blending simple, playful, and confidence‑building for ages 3–6. It’s not about worksheets or pressure; it’s about giving families a way to enjoy learning together, with activities that feel as magical as the season itself. Why Blending Unlocks Confidence
Blending is the moment when phonics comes alive. It’s the skill that helps children take individual sounds and join them together to make words. For young learners, this is the turning point: suddenly, reading feels possible and writing feels exciting.
When blending is taught in a simple, playful way, children experience those proud little “click” moments. The sparkle in their eyes appears when sounds turn into words they can read aloud. This confidence builds quickly, and it becomes the foundation for everything that follows in literacy. I like to call them my “little blenders”: children who are just beginning to join sounds together and discover the magic of words. It’s a stage filled with pride, joy, and the kind of sparkle that makes teaching phonics so rewarding.
Your Free Christmas Phonics Pack
The Christmas Phonics Pack has been created to make blending joyful, not pressured. It’s a festive resource that families can use straight away, with every activity designed to spark confidence and keep learning playful.
Here’s what’s inside:
🎄 Seasonal word‑building cards: Children practise joining sounds into festive words, making reading feel exciting and relevant.
✨ Confidence‑boosting games: Playful activities turn practice into proud “I can read it!” moments.
📖 Simple parent guidance: Clear prompts so you feel supported, even if phonics feels new.
🖍️ Creative, hands‑on tasks: Colouring, cutting, and blending activities that keep children engaged and help sounds stick.
Together, these resources create a gentle pathway into reading: one that feels festive, supportive, and full of proud little milestones.
Designed with Research and Expertise As an education consultant, I’ve built this pack on research‑led practice. Every choice is intentional: from using real images and photographs that help children connect sounds to meaningful words, to the “Clap and Tap” activity that lets them hear the number of sounds and blend with an action too. To make it even clearer, I’ve included a video link in the pack that demonstrates the activity step by step, so families can see exactly how to bring blending to life at home. These design details make blending concrete, playful, and memorable, giving children the best possible start on their reading journey.
Tailored for Nursery and Year 1 Learners
Blending is a skill that children master at different points in their learning journey. For many, the turning point comes in Reception (often around this time of year or into the spring term) when sounds begin to click together and reading suddenly feels possible. But all children benefit from practising blending, whatever stage they are at. That’s why the Christmas Phonics Pack has been carefully differentiated: with playful sound‑awareness activities for nursery learners, and extended word‑building and sentence practice for Year 1 children. Every child can enjoy the festive activities at the right level for them.
Beyond the Christmas Pack
The Free Christmas Phonics Pack is a joyful starting point, but I also know families sometimes want more structured support.
🎁 Phonics Boxes (Ages 4–6) Alongside the Free Christmas Phonics Pack, I’ve created phonics boxes for children aged 4–6. Each box builds on blending with playful, structured activities that grow confidence step by step, making home practice clear and enjoyable. These boxes help children move from those first proud “click” moments into more independent reading and writing skills.
🌱 Literacy Tuition (Ages 3–14) For families who want more personalised support, I also offer literacy tuition for ages 3–14, available both in person and online. Sessions are carefully tailored to each child’s stage of learning, from early phonics and blending to fluent reading, spelling strategies, and structured writing. Tuition provides a clear pathway for children who benefit from ongoing guidance and encouragement.
Whether you’re downloading the Free Christmas Phonics Pack, exploring the phonics boxes for ages 4–6, or looking for personalised tuition for ages 3–14, the aim is always the same: to make literacy feel joyful, simple, and confidence‑building for every child.
This Christmas, give your learner the gift of proud “I can read it!” moments and join our community of families who are discovering the sparkle of literacy together.
