Picture vocabulary — match each picture to its word

Matching a picture to its written word is one of the first steps in reading: the child already knows the object and its spoken name, and now links them to the letters on the page. The sheets draw from 66 everyday words — fruit, animals, nature, food and things at home — so every new sheet brings a different mix. They work just as well for children learning a second language: switch the page to French, Spanish or Arabic and the same pictures come with words in that language.

How to get the most from these sheets

• Name the pictures together first, then let your child find the words.
• Encourage sounding out: the first letter is often the best clue.
• Draw the lines with a ruler, from dot to dot, so the sheet stays easy to check.
• For a second language, print the same sheet number in both languages and compare.
