Eight CVC words on the left and eight pictures on the right in a different order. Children sound out each word, blend the sounds together and draw a line to its picture. Some words differ by only one letter, like mug and rug or box and fox, so every letter has to be read. This turns sounding out into reading for meaning. Page 2 shows the lines.
