This is an excellent way to make onset and rime visual for beginning readers. They examine CVC-word picture cards that are all missing the first letter. Using plastic letters (or whatever you have), they complete each word and record it on a graphic organizer. All 20 picture cards and the worksheet are included, so you just need to cut them out and provide the extra letters. This addresses spelling, printing, and picture-word association as well!
