CVC 'ed' Word Family Read, Cut and Reveal Worksheet
Children read five 'ed' words (bed, fed, zed, red, wed) by blending three sounds, check each one against a hidden picture (a bed, a child being fed, a letter z, a red dot and a wedding) and write it, so they see that changing the first sound makes a new word.
