About these kindergarten phonics worksheets
These kindergarten phonics worksheets practise the sound skills that turn letters into reading: hearing the short vowel in the middle of a word, recognising sight words, matching rhymes, sorting word families and reading whole sight word sentences.
They sit alongside the kindergarten reading and writing set, going deeper on phonics. Each sheet prints its Common Core code.

How to get the most out of them
- 1
Stretch the word slowly — "c-a-a-a-t" — so the vowel is easy to hear.
- 2
Play "I spy" with rhymes after the rhyming sheet: "I spy something that rhymes with bed".
- 3
Read each traced sentence aloud together, pointing to each word.
