About this activity

What your child practises

Hearing the sounds in words, linking sounds to letters and reading simple words with picture support.

What’s included

  • 8 problems
  • An answer key you can print with the sheet or on its own
  • An on-screen version with instant marking and stars

Age and school year

Made for ages 3–8. That’s Pre-K – Grade 3 in the US, Nursery – Year 4 in England, Nursery 1 – Primary 3 in Nigeria and LKG – Class 3 in India.

How to use it

  • Print it at home or school – it fits a standard A4 or US Letter page.
  • Print the answer key too, so marking takes seconds.
  • Play it on screen: answers are marked instantly and children earn stars.
  • Write on it on a tablet or touchscreen with a finger or stylus – no printer needed.

Tips for parents and teachers

  1. Turn the words into a game afterwards: find one in a book, or use it in the silliest sentence you can.
  2. Say each word aloud together and stretch the sounds (“c-a-t”) before writing; hearing sounds makes spelling easier.
  3. Keep sessions to 5–10 minutes and finish with praise – young children learn best in short bursts.
