Phase 3 Phonics – Cut and Match Worksheets

EYFS & Year 1 | SEN Friendly | 18 Worksheets

This Phase 3 phonics resource is designed to support children in learning and recognising the phase 3 digraphs and trigraphs through a fun and practical cut-and-match activity.

Children look at each picture, read the words, and cut and match the correct word to the image. This encourages blending, segmenting, and early reading confidence while keeping pupils engaged.

The worksheets are black and white, making them printer-friendly and ideal for classroom use.
