CVC Words Read, Match and Spell

Read Match and Spell is an activity to help children to read (sound out), find a matching picture and then spell CVC words with a short vowel sound using magnetic letters.

Great for Literacy centers, or for group/individual work
Great for EYFS/Early Intervention/Special Needs

You can use this Read, Match and Spell activity as a worksheet and let the child copy the word + picture and write the letters in the boxes, but I prefer to use the picture and word cards. This makes the activity more fun and stress-free.

Included are 6 words and pictures for each short vowel sound.

Print as many baseboards as you require.

Start by limiting the child to words and pictures from one vowel sound, and as confidence grows, extend the choice to other vowel sounds. You can target the ones the child needs the most practice with.

I made it for a pupil who lacks confidence: by having the word already in front of him he felt safe to sound the word out to spell it. The activity acted as a bridge to him being able to spell CVC words by himself. In addition, the picture served as a reward for having correctly sounded out the word.
