Everything the first year asks for.

Reading and numbers, in the order they arrive.

Reception asks for two things at once: the sounds that make words, and the numbers that make sums. This kit covers both — phonics for blending, the tricky words that refuse to be sounded out, and 0 to 20 for counting and first sums. The stand is where all of it gets built, a word one day and a sum the next.

What's Inside

Four packs and the stand to build on.

  • Phonics Flashcards — 37 double-sided cards, one animal and sound on each.
  • Tricky Words — Reception & Year 1 — 54 tricky words, the full list, with companion activities.
  • Numbers — 24 double-sided cards. Two sets of 0 to 9 with words and dots, plus sum symbols.
  • Numbers Extension — 26 double-sided cards. Two sets of 10 to 20 in the same shape.
  • Large Wooden Flashcard Display Stand — 34cm of handmade pine, for words and sums alike.

Learning through play

THE JOY OF LEARNING

Learning through play

We believe the best kind of learning doesn't feel like learning at all. Ten minutes before tea, building a word or a sum, is enough.

Leave the stand out, and it gets picked up on the way past.
