3-Letter Word Fun: Identify and Write! (Worksheet)

How to use this worksheet

Look at the picture together and say its name slowly, stretching out each sound — for example, 'c... a... t.' Read the word choices provided and help your child sound out each option to find the one that matches. Once they've identified the correct word, have them copy it into the writing space provided, saying each letter sound as they write it. Move to the next picture and repeat the process.
