CVC sentence matching worksheet 17
The six target pictures represent tip, yam, bug, cod, cub and lap. The sentence frames vary, so pupils must decode the target word and use the surrounding meaning instead of matching from position or a repeated wording pattern.
The contrast between yam and lap is useful for checking attention to the medial vowel. Other items, such as tip and lap, let the teacher see whether the reader uses the full sentence before selecting a picture.
What is included?
- One reading page with six short sentences and six empty picture boxes.
- Six cut-out pictures for tip, yam, bug, cod, cub and lap.
- One completed answer page showing every correct sentence-picture match.
- Two terms pages in the four-page PDF.
How to use this resource
Begin with the sentence containing tip. Ask the pupil to read every word, underline the word that carries the picture meaning and find its cut-out. Place it loosely in the box rather than gluing immediately.
Continue through yam and bug, then check all six choices by rereading the sentences in a different order. The pupil should point to the exact printed word that supports each match before fixing the pictures in place.
Teaching notes and quick assessment
Watch whether the child decodes tip or chooses its picture from a single clue. A confusion between yam and lap can show weak medial-vowel attention; a correct word read with the wrong picture suggests that sentence meaning needs more discussion.
A secure reader blends the target CVC word, reads the complete sentence and explains why the selected image fits. This reflects the decoding and comprehension guidance in the Department for Education reading framework. Keep the answer page separate until every picture has been placed.
Support and challenge
For support, offer the pictures for tip, yam and bug first and mask the remaining sentences. Read the high-frequency words together, then let the pupil blend the final CVC word and choose among those three images.
For challenge, complete CVC sentence matching worksheet 17 before cutting. Ask the pupil to predict each picture from the sentence, write a new sentence for lap and explain which printed word makes the new meaning clear.
