Two-piece and three-piece puzzles: letter, picture, word
Make self-checking puzzles for letter sounds and first words. Each strip is cut into two or three pieces: a letter, a picture, and the word. Every strip has its own cut line, so only the pieces that belong together fit.
Your worksheet:
Letter and picture puzzles practice matching a letter to the first sound of a word. Picture and word puzzles practice reading a short word and checking it against a picture.
Zigzags have a different number of points and tabs sit at different heights. A wrong match does not fit, so a child can work alone and still be right.
Put out three or four puzzles at a time. Add more as they get easy.
Every letter that has a picture in our library, and sh, ch and qu. The letter x has none yet.
Yes, for picture and word puzzles. Choose “Type your own words”. Each word needs a picture in our library.
The word piece is for a beginner to read, so we only use pictures whose word is in our checked word sets. Some letters have no such picture yet.
