What this worksheet teaches

• Read and spell words with consonant blends at the start and end, such as st, br and nd.
• Use the silent-e rule to read pairs like hop and hope.
• Break two-syllable words into parts to read them accurately.
• Spell common sight words that do not follow regular sound patterns.

How to use this worksheet

Keep sessions to about ten minutes. Phonics accuracy drops sharply once attention fades, and two short sittings on one worksheet produce noticeably better results than one long push. If your child starts guessing rather than sounding out, that is the moment to stop.

Sample questions from this worksheet

1. sit / sat
2. hot / hit

Frequently asked questions

My child reads well but spells the same words wrongly. Why?

Reading recognises a pattern; spelling has to reproduce it from memory, which is harder. Phonics worksheets that ask for both are deliberately building the second, slower skill.

Should my child sound out every word, even known ones?

No. Familiar words should be read at sight; sounding out is for unfamiliar ones. If your child sounds out every single word, fluency practice with easy text will help alongside this sheet.

What are sight words doing on a phonics sheet?

Words such as said, come and one break the usual rules, so they must be learned by memory. Mixing a few into phonics practice stops a child from trying to sound out words that cannot be sounded out.
