Class set
One copy for every student: type the first names and get one PDF, with each name on that student's own pages. Every student's pages use the same settings.
Early reading pages: matching letters to their sounds, reading short-vowel words such as cat and pig, finding rhyming pairs, and reading short sentences made from sight words. Each page has one activity in large print.
Four early reading activities
The PDF has four pages, each a different kind of reading task in large print. First Sounds shows a word with three letters beside it, to circle the one it begins with. Short Vowel Words has words such as cat and pig to read and trace. Rhyming Words asks for a line between two words that rhyme, and Read a Sentence has short sentences to read and then trace.
The sentences on the last page are built from sight words. This page is a sampler of reading tasks; for a full run of sound patterns, one per page, see Phonics Worksheets, and for the sight word lists themselves, see Sight Words.
Three examples
First Sounds: circle the letter each word begins with. 
Rhyming Words: draw a line between the pairs that rhyme. 
Read a Sentence: short sentences to read, then trace.
