Phase 4 Read and Colour Worksheets
Phase 4 phonics read and colour activity
Our Phase 4 Read and Colour worksheets give pupils the chance to practise blending longer words and adjacent consonants in context. Captions such as “The red tractor is on the farm” or “Six green fish swim in the tank” encourage children to decode accurately, then colour the matching pictures to confirm meaning.
These worksheets combine decoding practice with comprehension, helping pupils consolidate Phase 4 phonics knowledge in an engaging and effective way. Suitable for independent reading, group work or targeted phonics support, each page provides meaningful opportunities to apply new sounds in context.
This resource is fully aligned with the updated 2021 Letters and Sounds progression and supports early reading development in the EYFS and beyond.
Teaching tip
Encourage pupils to read each caption twice before colouring. Highlight any tricky Phase 4 words together as a group, then let children show their understanding by colouring the correct details in each picture.
