CVC Word and Picture Matching Worksheet 19: Short i

The hip picture points to part of the body, while lip focuses on the mouth. Pip is the seed shown with the fruit. Dip names the action of putting something into liquid rather than the cup itself.

On the short i word and picture matching worksheet sheet, d, h, l and p provide four beginnings for the same ending. Pip repeats p at both ends, which is worth noticing when reading the complete label.

What is included?

• Four printed word choices: dip, hip, lip, pip.
• Four pictures down the left side, ordered hip, dip, pip, lip.
• A matching activity on page 1 and a separate answer key with the correct connections on page 2.
• The four-page PDF also contains a thank-you page and terms of use.

Teaching this worksheet

Point to your hip and then the corresponding drawing. Blend h-i-p before joining it to hip in the word column. Compare lip, listening to the changed beginning and identifying the mouth picture.

For short i word and picture matching worksheet, explain pip as the fruit seed and demonstrate dip with a simple gesture. Return to the letters p and d after introducing the meanings.

Check all connections using page 2 once pupils finish. Ask them to read the four labels without the pictures afterwards, especially hip and lip, to distinguish decoding from recalling a body-part clue.

Picture-word activities

• Build hip and lip with tiles and change only h to l.
• Locate the pip in the fruit drawing and compare the two p letters in its label.
• Say dip and pip slowly, then identify the differing first sounds.

Teaching notes and quick assessment

On this CVC word picture matching worksheet 19, notice whether the pupil reads the whole word or matches from the shared ending and picture position. Ask for the difference between dip and hip before accepting either line.

A secure reader blends all four labels, identifies the distinguishing grapheme and checks the connection for pip by rereading it. This follows the decoding emphasis in the Department for Education reading framework. Keep the answer page hidden until all four choices are explained.

Support and next steps

Supply pip if the learner says seed, and dip if they focus on the container instead of the action. Those spoken labels can be given before the pupil reads the choices.

After short i word and picture matching worksheet, dictate lip and pip on blank paper. Ask the child to explain why the ending stays the same while the beginning changes. Revisit dip separately if d needs shape support.
