Clip cards with a picture and three suggested answers
First page, made in Lexikit with twelve animal words.

In 3 steps

  1. Add your words: Lexikit splits them into syllables, and the “Syllables” tab of the word window corrects them.
  2. Choose what to clip: the first letter, the word, the number of syllables or the number of pictures, as digits or dot patterns.
  3. Print double-sided: the back repeats the answer band, with a ticked dot in the slot of the right answer.

What you can set

  • What to clip? The first letter, the word, the syllables, or counting up to 3, 4, 6 or 10
  • 2, 3 or 4 suggested answers
  • Capitals, print or cursive, optional word under the picture
  • 6 large or 8 standard cards per page, answer on the back, printed title
  • A box to cut out and fold to store the cards, in the “Resource” section: the resource and its box, or the box alone

Ways to use it

  • A self-correcting activity to do alone
  • Fine motor skills and phonological awareness at the same time
  • On screen: the same cards as a quiz, for a group or a class

Frequently asked questions

How does the self-correction work?

Print double-sided, flipping on the long edge: the back of each card repeats the answer band, and a ticked dot marks the slot of the right answer. The child turns the card over: the clip should sit on the dot.
