Matching pictures with corresponding CVC words helps students develop word recognition skills. By associating the visual image with the written word, students strengthen their ability to identify and read CVC words independently.

How and when might you use this?

This activity could be used in a variety of way:

· Literacy centers

· Small group instruction to provide targeted support

· Independent work stations

· Early morning work

· Homework for additional practice

· Assessment

For continued use I would recommend laminating this resource and using Velcro to move the jigsaw pieces around.

I use it with 6th graders to show how important carefully following directions can be. It could easily be used with younger grades or possibly older grades as well.
