Spelling and Word Building Pack

A child may recognize a word while still needing help to write it. This pack gives practice with spelling and using picture vocabulary through several formats. Children rearrange scrambled letters, write picture names, match words to pictures, and assemble sentences from supplied words.

The pages use different word selections and levels of support. They are not all three-sound words, and a picture does not make a long spelling easy. Read the preview and choose words your child knows orally before asking for independent spelling. Start with a supported matching task, then try a spelling or sentence page when your child is ready for more writing.

Say a word together, look at the available letters or model, and help your child work through the part that is difficult. Explain an unfamiliar spelling rather than asking for repeated guesses. On a sentence page, read the completed sentence aloud and check whether its words make sense in that order.

For an alternative starting point, explore Early Words: Reading and Spelling. The Phonics and Sounds Pack includes related sound and word activities. Finish a small selection carefully, and revisit a familiar word later by writing it in a label, note, or short sentence.
