Reading Worksheets-Level 1 -cut & match

Level 1
Reading worksheets
Sight word matching
Cut, match & glue

Children who are starting to read are often confused by the jumble of squiggles that make up letters and words. They need many different activities to help them make sense of this new word that is opening up to them.

These activities are designed to supplement the first readers that students are presented with at school. They match the Level 1 PM Readers, but can be used with other reading schemes. They assist with consolidation of the basic sight words. As students cut, match and glue the words they are constantly having to check to ensure the words are the same.

The activities develop:
· visual discrimination skills - matching words.
· Fine motor skills – cutting on the lines and gluing on top of matching words.

The worksheets start with just a couple of words to match. They get progressively harder as the students work through the activities. Part way through, the words to be matched, include interest words as well as basic sight words.
