Give your Year 1 children a confident start to phonics with these simple, engaging picture match worksheets designed to recap Phase 3 and Phase 4 sounds at the beginning of the school year.

Each worksheet focuses on one Phase 3 grapheme, helping children revisit previously taught sounds while assessing their ability to read and understand words independently.

How it works:

Children read the words in the boxes at the top of the sheet.
They draw a matching picture in the empty box beneath each word.
Alternatively, cut out the picture strip at the bottom of the page. Children read each word, snip out the correct picture and stick it into the matching box.

Perfect for:

Beginning of Year 1 phonics revision
Independent morning work
Phonics lessons
Assessment activities
Intervention groups
Continuous provision

These low-prep worksheets provide a quick and engaging way to revisit key Phase 3 and 4 phonics knowledge while helping you identify any gaps before moving on to new learning.
