About these worksheets
These early reading worksheets use short, decodable words paired with clear pictures. Children read a word and circle the matching picture, do the reverse (picture to word), or draw lines between a column of words and a column of pictures. They suit children who know their letter sounds and are starting to blend.
All worksheets are free for home and classroom use, print on one Letter or A4 page and come with an answer key. Every set is generated from the same word and number banks as our games, so "Make a new one" gives you unlimited practice.
Tips for parents & teachers
- Ask your child to read the word aloud before looking at the pictures.
- The three wrong-answer pictures never start with the same letter, so early readers can use the first sound as a clue.
- Move to the "circle the word" sheets once picture-to-word feels easy; they require real reading, not just recognition.
