Bear and the Picnic Lunch - multiple choice CVC words match to picture peg board

Teaching through book talk is the best way to help children learn new vocabulary and aid their development in learning the spoken word.

We use a lot of books in our setting to help children. One thing I did notice though, is that there are not many phonic resources you can buy that will help children. There is a lot of basic things of course but they are all limited.

This resource I made is a brilliant way to help children who are starting to learn to read basic words. The child needs to read the all three words and see which one matches the picture they can see (very very important as reading can be a ‘silent’ activity when a child begins to read so they need to know it is relatable to something.) I used pegs for the children to show which picture was the correct one (again this was to help with fine motor control and strengthen their grips). They pegged one word before coming to me and telling me what they have read by sounding it out and then saying the word.

Cut the resource out. Fold the picture and the backing on itself and laminate these together so its back to back. This way there will be two cards per sheet of A4. The pegs are something you will have to provide but once you have them, you are all ready to go.
