Reading: Foundational Skills · Phonological awareness
Children work on hearing and playing with the sounds in spoken words — rhymes, syllables and individual sounds.
How to use this worksheet
- 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.
