Writing CVC Sentences Writing Assessment: Foundation is a practical and engaging resource designed to support early writers in constructing simple, meaningful sentences. Using clear clipart images as prompts, students are encouraged to observe, think, and write about what they see—building essential skills in phonics, sentence structure and early writing fluency.

With a focus on identifying and using CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, this activity supports phonemic awareness, spelling, and early grammar in a structured yet creative format. Each worksheet includes space for students to write their own sentences using the images as inspiration and to personalise their work through colouring.

An editable version of each worksheet and an assessment rubric aligned to Foundation Australian Curriculum outcomes are included, making this resource ideal for differentiated instruction and progress monitoring.
