This interactive PDF resource is designed to help young learners practise reading and identifying CVC words with the short ‘i’ vowel sound (e.g., bin, fit, lid). The activity supports phonics development by encouraging children to match each picture to the correct word card.
Each card includes:
- A CVC word with sound buttons to support decoding
- A square space to place or attach the matching picture
- Colour-coded borders to group words with the same ending (e.g., -ig, -it, etc.), helping reinforce word families and visual patterns
Skill Focus:
- Phonemic awareness – segmenting and blending CVC words
- Sound-letter correspondence – recognising individual phonemes in written words
- Word family recognition – identifying and grouping words with common endings
- Vocabulary building – associating words with corresponding images
- Fine motor skills – cutting, sticking, and handling small cards
How to Use:
- Laminate the cards for durability and repeated use
- Use Blue Tack to stick pictures on the matching word squares – great for tuff tray setups, small group work, or even wall displays
- Alternatively, children can practise their cutting and sticking skills by trimming the pictures and gluing them onto the correct card
This flexible, hands-on activity is ideal for EYFS, KS1, or ESL learners working on early reading skills and phonemic awareness.
