Phonics Check: Mixed CVC Review Route

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: applying short-vowel decoding across a mixed word set

1

Read map and place it under short a.

2

Read ten and place it under short e.

3

Read sit and place it under short i.

4

Read fox and place it under short o.

5

Read cup and place it under short u.

6

Choose one word from the route, spell it from memory, and check it.

Grown-up guide
  1. Keep all five vowel headers visible while the child works.
  2. Invite the child to say the middle sound before placing each word.
  3. Review only missed words at the end so the route remains a check rather than a long drill.
