Worksheet Description
A second grid features stud, thud, cud, fud, mud, and spud. Learners must attend to both the shared ending and different onsets. The mix includes blends and less common words. It ensures the pattern feels flexible, not fixed to a single starter.
Students practice distinguishing minimal changes at the beginning of words. The activity trains selective attention under light cognitive load. It broadens vocabulary while preserving the same decoding routine. Puzzle success encourages productive struggle.
