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.

There is an extra sorting activity presentation - print off slides 1 and 2 and children can do this activity at their tables instead of the click and drag activity in the main Presentation.
