Visual Discrimination with Letters Workbook 3

Develop children’s ability to visually discriminate between letters and words. Children are asked to cut out boxes with 4-letter words and then match them to the same words by sticking.

These activities should ideally be provided in conjunction with formal teaching of the alphabet. Not only is the ability to discriminate between letters an important skill for learning the alphabet but also a valuable pre-reading skill where children need to learn how to distinguish between letter and word shapes. It is not necessary for children to know their alphabet when undertaking the activities in this workbook as the emphasis is on the distinction of letter and word shapes.

The letters that children are required to cut, match and stick on each page are as follows:

sand, fork, part, stay
road, park, tree, maid
take, load, bark, star
five, moon, door, told
bell, make, four, cake
dark, pink, late, heat
oven, past, hate, rope
bill, tray, nail, pray
soon, harp, cool, fast
hand, cork, stir, fill
lock, been, down, long
your, side, have, nest
