All 29 worksheets are in the same format.
Onset and Rime 2 Worksheets - The cut/paste only sheet has two rhyming pictures with the letters to cut out and stick below the pictures to spell the word. The student then writes the words on the line under the cut out letters.

These are mixed CVC word cards. The words are jumbled/scrambled. Students can write the correct word or you can get them to type in the correct spelling as I have now included fillable blanks.
This is the updated version, but I’ve retained the old version in case you prefer the old version.
Also suitable for ESL/EFL students and students still finding it challenging to discriminate sounds.
A lovely addition to your phonics lessons or literacy centre.
Print onto card paper and laminate - use drywipe pens for activities or students can use the computer to type in the words.

There are 58 CVC cards and they have a double use.
How to use:-
The student looks at the picture and say what it is.
When s/he knows what the picture is they attempt to sort out the jumbled word by sounding out initial medial and final letters.
S/he then writes the word correctly on the line.
Other use:-
There are 58 cvc cards which are made up of 29 pairs of onset and rime words and pictures.
Lay out pairs of cards for the student to match the rhyming pictures and then unscramble the words and write on the lines.
As an extension they could write funny rhyming lines into their literacy books.
E.g. The pin is in the bin. The fan is in the pan.
