Today I am practising: reading CVC words accurately in connected text

Read: The cat sat. Underline cat and sat, then draw the scene.

Read: A pig can dig. Circle the two rhyming CVC words.

Read: The fox is in a box. Draw a line from fox to box.

Read: Ben fed the hen. Underline the short-e words.

Read: The pup had fun in the sun. Box the two words that rhyme.

Choose one sentence and change one CVC word to make a new sentence that still makes sense.

Grown-up note: Ask your learner to explain one answer in their own words.
