If you are looking for morning work, center work, or homework then this activity is for you.
I love using this activity in my classroom. I teach my students how to use each worksheet and then give it to them to complete. Each worksheet should be easy to use for your students. I have several worksheets that cover different phonic skills. Each morning when my students walk in the door, I give them a worksheet that covers the skill that we are currently working on. This gives students something to practice while I am taking attendance, checking lunches, and handling anything that arises at the beginning of school. Giving students the same types of activities, but with different skills creates predictability that helps students know what to expect every day when they walk in.
I do recommend showing students the word and picture sort first. This will give students the opportunity to go over the pictures and words before completing the worksheets on their own. It will make this activity much easier if your students understood what each picture is.
Here is some more detailed information about this activity.
