Christmas CVC Read and Match (Free PDF)
12 CVC words to read and match to pictures, as a draw-a-line page and a cut-and-paste page.
A simple Christmas phonics activity for beginning readers. Read twelve CVC words and match each one to its picture, either by drawing a line or by cutting and gluing. It is a calm, low-prep way to keep decoding going in December without any coloring pages.
What’s inside
- Page 1, draw-a-line matching: hen, pig, hat, bed, box, bag, mug, pan, pot, jam, bus, net, with the pictures mixed up on the right.
- Page 2, cut and paste: twelve glue boxes with the word on each and twelve pictures to cut out and place.
- Every word is a strict CVC word. The pictures use the same art as the Winter Phonics Pack.
How to use in class
- Read the first word together, sounding it out, and find its picture.
- Children match the rest on their own, reading each word before they draw.
- Use the cut and paste page the next day to practice the same words in a different way.
- Read all twelve words aloud to a partner at the end.
