B – F – C – D – A, and a star appears
Read a letter, find its color in the key, find that dot, draw a line to it. Five times, and the lines make a star — which is how the child knows they read the code right.
Letter, color, dot — then the next letter.
A connect-the-code worksheet generator, printable as a PDF. A key at the top gives seven letters their colors, and nine rings of colored dots below each have a code over them. The child reads the code one letter at a time, finds that letter's color, and joins the dots in that order. Pick four dots a ring, five, or six with a code that comes back to its start. Every code jumps across the ring rather than going round it, so the lines make a star or a zigzag, never just the outline — and the first ring is drawn as an example. In the black-and-white print the dots carry their letters, and the answer key draws every shape.

Read
The first letter of the code, and find its color in the key.
Find
The dot of that color on the ring. Put the pencil down there.
Join
Draw a line to the next letter's dot, and on to the end of the code.
Dots on each ring
The code always jumps across the ring, so it draws a star or a zigzag — never just the outline. The first ring on the page is done as an example.
