Support early phonics and word-building skills with this engaging threading bead set, designed for hands-on learning in EYFS and Key Stage 1 classrooms. Ideal for teaching phase 2 phonics, it encourages children to form CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words through interactive play.

The cards are initially laid out with the yellow side facing up to show the picture of the CVC word. Children pick a card and identify the missing CVC word. They then form the word using a string and beads and lay the word on top of the card. All the cards are self-checking with the answers on the reverse of the card. All the letters and sounds in this set are from phase 2 and all the beads in this set are orange to match the phase 2 colour.

• Includes 90 orange beads, 30 double-sided cards (12 x 100mm), and 30 strings (170mm each)

• Beads measure 15–26mm wide and 29mm high

• All letters and sounds correspond to phase 2 phonics

• Beads can be used independently to create pseudo words to check phonic recognition
