There are 12 Bingo boards and 72 words for Stages 1 - 2 to practise CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words using the phonemes/graphemes introduced and six Heart words - high frequency words children need to learn 'by heart'. As children learn the 'alphabetic code' these words will become decodable.
All words are linked to the reading of Stages 1 - 2 of the Pip and Tim decodable books.
Heart words are indicated with a heart symbol. Other words need to be 'sounded out' if unknown. Encourage children to increase their automatic recognition of words; give them permission to read the word without 'sounding out'.
