Why use lookalike words?
Do your students mix up sounds when they are trying to decode CVC words? By providing children with CVC words that look alike, we can help to teach our students to not simply look at the first letter or rely on guesswork.
These lookalike word activities encourage children to attend to each sound within the CVC words, in order to identify the correct word to match the CVC word pictures.
This resource includes 3 activities in 1 pack:
- 3 x colour mats for students to identify the CVC word - use as a literacy rotation activity
- 3 x black & white mats for students to identify the CVC word - use as a consolidation worksheet
- Individual task cards - perfect for picking & choosing words to align with your phonics scope & sequence. Use pegs or counters to identify the correct word.
