Phonics Check: Prove It with a Picture

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: linking decoded CVC words to meaning

1

Blend dog. Draw or point to a matching clue.

2

Blend cap. Write the word below your clue.

3

Read pig and circle the picture that fits.

4

Read log. Use it in a short oral sentence.

5

Read sun and draw one detail that proves its meaning.

6

Ask an adult to give you one CVC word to read and sketch.

Grown-up guide
  1. Ask the child to blend the letters before looking at a picture choice.
  2. Use a quick sketch; artistic detail is not part of the check.
  3. If a drawing does not fit, reread the word together and compare its sounds.
