Two Differentiated Formats:

1. Trace, Read & Circle
Students trace the complete CVC word, blend and read it, and circle the matching picture.

2. Trace, Print, Read & Circle
Students trace the word, print it independently, blend and read it, and circle the matching picture.

Use one format throughout an entire book or combine the two formats to meet individual student needs. For example, you might include the cover, two tracing pages and one independent-printing page.
