Segmenting Superstars CCVC Words

This straightforward worksheet encourages students to hone their phonemic segmentation skills with CCVC words by using sound boxes. It's designed with two different levels to cater to varying abilities.

These sheets can be printed onto coloured paper and laminated or placed in write and wipe sleeves to act as a reusable literacy rotation or fast finisher activity.

Learning goals

  • We are learning to use sounds in spoken words, adding, deleting and subtracting initial, medial and final phonemes (sounds) to build new words (phonological awareness).
  • We are learning to understand that a letter can represent more than one sound, e.g. cat, swan, ball, fast etc. and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound.
  • We are learning how to spell one- and two-syllable words with common letter patterns.
  • We are learning to segment words into separate phonemes (sounds), consonant blends or clusters at the beginnings and ends of words (phonological awareness).
  • We are learning to use vowel sounds, consonant blends and digraphs when writing and reading one- and two-syllable words.
  • We are learning to segment consonant blends or clusters into separate phonemes at the beginnings and ends of one syllable words.
  • We are learning to use sounds in spoken words, adding, deleting and subtracting initial, medial and final sounds to build new words.
  • We are learning to use vowel sounds, consonant digraphs and blends when writing and reading single syllable words.
  • We are learning how to spell one and two syllable words with common letter patterns.

Curriculum alignment

EN1-5A old Uses a variety of strategies, including knowledge of sight words and letter–sound correspondences, to spell familiar words EN1-4A old Draws on an increasing range of skills and strategies to fluently read, view and comprehend a range of texts on less familiar topics in different media and technologies EN1-PHOKW-01 new Uses initial and extended phonics, including vowel digraphs, trigraphs to decode and encode words when reading and creating texts EN1-SPELL-01 new Applies phonological, orthographic and morphological generalisations and strategies when spelling words in a range of writing contexts
VCELA181 Recognise short vowels, common long vowels and consonant digraphs, and consonant blends VCELA204 Manipulate phonemes by addition, deletion and substitution of initial, medial and final phonemes to generate new words VCELA183 Understand that a letter can represent more than one sound, and that a syllable must contain a vowel sound VCELA203 Identify the separate phonemes in consonant blends or clusters at the beginnings and ends of syllables VCELA182 Understand how to spell one and two syllable words with common letter patterns

Australian Curriculum covers QLD / SA / WA / NT / TAS / ACT.

Differentiation

Modifications

Use the 1st worksheet where students trace the words before segmenting the sounds into the sound boxes.
 

Extensions

Use the 2nd worksheet where students will need to write all 4 phonemes for each word in the sound boxes and then again as a complete word.
