What the sheet holds

A run with gaps: the alphabet, numbers, days, months or your own list. What is missing is written in or pasted in. The answer key is drawn from the same sheet, so the two always agree.

How it works

This page is for filling missing letters of the alphabet. It opens on A to Z in two rows of boxes with eight boxes empty; the child writes each missing capital where it belongs.
