Word list for completion…

map
The target words are CVC words. That is, each word has three
sounds, two are consonant sounds (C), and one is a vowel sound
(V). In these activities the vowels are all short vowels – a i o e u - and
are consistently the same sound when spelling.
Directions
Your child’s task is to write the missing letters/graphemes in
each box.
There are 7 box sets of 3. Each word is at different levels of
completion.
The first series of three boxes contain the complete target
word, and is to be used as a reference.
Cover completed words before starting the exercises.
Tips
Cover the target words.
Encourage your child to sound out the sounds while writing
the letters.
Feedback for errors, i.e. your child writes gab for bag. Say, ‘The
first sound in this word is /b/. Listen as I say the sound /b/.’ Point
to the letter g at child’s attempt to write bag. Say. ‘This is the
/g/ sound. The first sound is /b/.’ Point to both the g and the b
spellings. Ask your child, ‘What do you need to do?’ (Swap
the g spelling with the b spelling.)
