About This Worksheet
This Foundation reading worksheet helps children apply taught phonics to simple decodable sentences. The goal is to blend sounds, read the words in order and connect the sentence to its meaning.
I Can Checklist
- I can blend sounds to read words.
- I can read a simple sentence.
- I can check that what I read makes sense.
How to Use It
Encourage children to look at each word and blend the sounds they know. If a word is unfamiliar, support them sound by sound rather than guessing from the picture. After reading, ask a simple question about the sentence.
Parent Tip
Use a few minutes of calm reading practice each day. Let your child reread an easy sentence to build accuracy and fluency, then ask them to explain what it means.
