About this resource
Practise choosing w or wh at the beginning of pictured words. Pupils name each illustration, consider its spelling, and record the matching beginning. Use the completed response page for checking, and discuss unfamiliar picture names before pupils make their spelling choices.
Curriculum reference — England: Focus on spelling choice; do not claim all accents pronounce w and wh identically. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
