Product description
From the author
Use picture clues to change words one sound or spelling at a time. The 41-page PDF contains twenty worksheets, twenty matching answer pages and introductory teaching notes.
Begin with CVC words, then select pages involving digraphs, doubled final consonants and blends. Later changes can involve more than one written letter. Name the pictures and compare their sounds before writing.
Use selected pages for word work, intervention or informal assessment, choosing patterns students have already been taught.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Change one letter in a CVC word to spell a new word, using a picture as a spelling cue
Apply double-final-consonant (bonus ll/ss) and digraph spelling patterns on later worksheets
Teaching tips
Begin with straightforward CVC substitutions.
Name both pictures aloud and compare the sounds before writing.
Explain that later examples can change more than one written letter.
Skills covered
CVC letter substitution — students change one letter in a word (e.g., cat to hat) to match a target picture.
Digraph and bonus-letter spelling — later worksheets require doubling a final consonant (ll, ss) or applying a digraph rather than swapping a single letter.
Picture-to-word matching — each puzzle uses an illustration as the spelling target rather than a word bank.
