Literacy — printable resources

Comprehension, word reading, and writing — from first letter sounds to independent sentences.

EYFS Literacy builds on Communication and Language: children link sounds to letters, blend words, and begin to write. Here you'll find phonics practice, letter-formation sheets, handwriting lines, and early writing prompts organised by level.

Start with the tracing and letter-recognition sheets in Nursery, then move to word-building and sentence writing in Reception. Little and often beats long sessions — ten focused minutes a day carries children steadily toward the Word Reading and Writing early learning goals.
