Looking for meaningful Foundation literacy activities that work from the very start of the year — and continue supporting students through consolidation and intervention?
This Foundation Literacy Bundle brings together a collection of low-prep, progression-aligned resources designed to support phonics, phonemic awareness, letter recognition, and early writing — all while building independence and buying you time during small groups.
Each resource in this bundle was created for real Prep / Foundation classrooms, where students are at very different stages, routines are still forming, and early finishers need purposeful work (not busy tasks).
Why teachers love this bundle
-
Designed to meet students at the start of Foundation
-
Supports explicit teaching, rotations, fast finishers, and intervention
-
Clear routines that promote independence and confidence
-
Aligned to commonly used phonics progressions
- Prep once, reuse all year (and year after year)
Rather than juggling multiple disconnected activities, this bundle gives you consistent, familiar formats that grow with your students as their skills develop.
What’s included in this bundle:
Phonics Polaroid Match
A hands-on phonics matching resource designed to follow a clear phonics progression.
