About this resource

Tricky Words & Sounds Home Learning File (Editable) Support strong home-school links with this fully editable Tricky Words & Sounds Home Learning File, designed to keep parents informed about the words and sounds their child is learning throughout the year. The file includes: Half-termly sets of tricky words to match children's progress. A clear progression of phonics sounds that can be shared with families. Parent-friendly guidance to support learning at home. A simple, organised format that can be sent home each half term or adapted to suit your school's approach. Every school teaches phonics slightly differently, which is why this resource is fully editable. You can adapt the tricky words, sounds, wording and layout to match your own phonics scheme, progression and expectations. Whether you're looking to strengthen communication with parents or provide a consistent home learning resource, this file offers a practical starting point that can be personalised for your setting. Please note: This resource is provided as an editable template and is intended to be adapted to suit your own school's phonics scheme and curriculum. © 2026 EYFS with Mrs S. All rights reserved.
