Handy for checking the list fits your child before printing, or for making your own games.

bat, bug, cat, fog, web, witch, treat, black, trick, moon, broom, boo, ghost, pumpkin, costume

How to use it

  1. Pick the page that matches your child's stage.
  2. Blend each pair of chunks and write the word.
  3. Draw a spooky picture of one word.
  4. Older siblings can do the trickier page while younger ones do CVC.

Watch out for

  • Spider and witch look simple but use a blend and tch; beginners should stay on the CVC page.
  • Silent-letter words on the last page (ghost, knock) are meant to be read with help.
  • Mix the pages for siblings at different stages — everyone gets a sheet at their level.

Who it’s for

Ages 4–8, in October. Each page targets a different stage.
