WORKSHEETS Practise Writing Sentences Using Three Letter Words (4-7 years)

Decode and read a simple three-letter (CVC) word describing a pictured item or quality.

Trace a model sentence to practice correct letter formation and spacing.

Select the correct words from a scrambled word bank and write an original complete sentence answering a yes/no picture question.

Introduce the "How to use these worksheets" page first, since it explicitly walks through the 4-step routine (name/date, draw, trace, write) that every worksheet in the set follows.

Use the 3 worksheets that share the Zoggy story passage (cat/fat, dog/dotty, fox/big) as a connected set, since the same narrative context carries across all three.

Since only one worksheet's answer ("A fat cat") is modeled on the final page, plan to review the other six sentences with students directly rather than relying on a self-check key.

CVC word decoding — each worksheet centres on a three-letter word (cat, dog, fox, van, egg, pig) or descriptive word (fat, dotty, big, red, mud) that students must read and reuse in their own sentence.

Sentence tracing and formation — students trace a model sentence before attempting to write independently, building letter formation and spacing skills.

Word-bank sentence construction — students select the correct words from a scrambled bank and assemble them into a grammatically complete yes/no-answer sentence.
