This Grade 1 English worksheet gives students focused practice recognizing words with soft c, soft g, and dge spellings by matching each pictured word to the correct written option. The seven-item set includes six multiple-choice questions and one multiple-select question featuring words such as mice, face, ice, Gingerbread, cage, badge, and fridge. Students use both picture meaning and spelling patterns to distinguish the correct answer from close alternatives. Use this free printable worksheet to reinforce early phonics instruction, provide independent practice, or check whether students can identify soft-sound spellings in familiar words. The included answer key makes it easy to review choices and discuss why spellings such as c in face and ice, g in Gingerbread and cage, and dge in badge and fridge represent the target sounds.

FAQs
What does this worksheet cover?
This Grade 1 worksheet covers identifying picture words that use soft c, soft g, and dge spellings. Across six multiple-choice items and one multiple-select item, students distinguish words such as mice, face, ice, Gingerbread, cage, badge, and fridge from visually similar options, strengthening their ability to connect spelling patterns with the /s/ and /j/ sounds.
How can I use this worksheet to teach soft c, soft g, and dge?
Introduce the worksheet by reviewing that c can represent the soft /s/ sound, g can represent the soft /j/ sound, and dge can represent /j/ at the end of a word. Have students say each pictured word, identify the target sound, and then explain why the selected spelling fits before completing the picture-word choices independently.
What mistakes should I watch for when students complete this worksheet?
Students may choose a familiar-looking option without checking the spelling pattern, such as selecting fate or fade instead of face, or cape or cave instead of cage. Watch for students who overlook the final dge in badge and fridge or fail to recognize soft c in words such as mice, face, and ice and soft g in Gingerbread and cage.
How do I assign and grade this worksheet?
This worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, with a complete answer key for all seven picture-word questions. Printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, while the digital quiz provides an online option for assigning the same soft c, soft g, and dge practice.
How can I differentiate this soft c, soft g, and dge worksheet for my students?
Use the worksheet’s Advanced Settings to increase font size or widen font spacing so the picture labels and answer choices are easier to track. You can also select a dyslexia-friendly font, or use Translation to support directions for multilingual learners while keeping attention on the English spelling patterns in words such as face, cage, and fridge.
