Little Red Riding Hood - CVC word match to pictures - peg boards - Powerpoint

Reading is a ‘silent’ process for many children. When first learning they do not possess the ability to imagine what the written word is telling us. They have many, many other skills they have to master before they can get there. This powerpoint is aimed at beginner readers and to try and put some fun into reading. They read it and then they have to match it to the correct picture. With a picture to help young children visualise what they are reading, they have a purpose to reading it too and not just going through the motions. This powerpoint is designed to be used independently, but can obviously be used as a teaching aid too.

The idea behind this resource is that children have a word they should read. It has sound buttons underneath to help them and they are mostly CVC words. When they have read the word, they should click on the picture that matches the word. The powerpoint will tell them if they get it right or wrong so they can do this independently or with yourself as guided reading.

I made a lot of resources for traditional tales that can be printed off and laminated. Then the idea was for the children in my class to access these independently, either by using pegs to match the answers or other ways to work out the answer like using bottle tops with letters wrote on them.
