Product description

From the author

This set contains ten phonics worksheets, two for each spelling pattern f, ff, l, ll and ss. Picture matching, lowercase tracing and missing-letter words support sound recognition, pencil control, encoding and decoding.

The 13-page PDF includes three introductory pages. Print at A4 size or adjust your printer settings. Introduce the focus pattern before use; laminate and bind the sheets if you want a reusable write-and-wipe book.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Match a picture's sound to the correct target letter (f, ff, l, ll, ss).

  • Trace and form the lowercase letter(s) for each target sound with correct pencil formation.

  • Fill in a missing sound to complete a simple word, then read the completed word aloud.

Teaching tips

  • Laminate the sheets and bind them into a write-and-wipe book, as the file itself suggests, for repeated use across a phonics unit.

  • Compare one pair of spellings, such as f and ff, using their dedicated picture-matching and letter-formation pages.

  • Have students read the completed word aloud after filling in the missing sound, since the sheets pair spelling practice with a decoding check.

Skills covered

  • Sound recognition — students match a picture to its target sound (f, ff, l, ll, or ss).

  • Lowercase letter formation — students trace each target letter across two full rows of practice.

  • Encoding simple words — students fill in a missing sound to complete words like "fit," "fog," or "log" for each target sound.
