The sight words and their practice lines

The word on its own 3

  • come 4 letters for 3 sounds: c, the short u of cup, m. The o is the surprise and the e is silent. All four letters sit between the dashed line and the base line.
  • Come come Capital C beside small c. The two are one shape at two heights. Commands start with the capital: Come here.
  • come come come Three to trace in one row, and the row is nearly full: c, o, m and e are all wide letters. Watch that the m gets both humps.

Spot-the-word rows 4

  • come become come Circle come 2 times. Become ends with the whole word. Only the two standing alone get a circle.
  • come came come Circle come 2 times. Came is the same verb for yesterday, and only the second letter is different.
  • come some come can Circle come 2 times. Some rhymes with it and shares o-m-e, so the first letter decides. Can starts with c but stops after three letters.
  • home come dome Circle come 1 time. Home and dome look like rhymes for it, but their o is long. Read all three aloud to hear the odd one out.

Missing-letter rows 3

  • c_me s_me d_ne Say come, some, done aloud. The same letter is missing from each: an o that sounds like the u of cup.
  • com_ co_e c_me One letter is missing each time: e, then m, then o. The last gap is the hard one, because the ear asks for a u there.
  • come co__ ____ A fading row. Copy the word, finish it from its first two letters, then write all four from memory.

  • come on Said fast it turns into c'mon. On sounds out, and each of the two words has an o with its own sound.
  • come out The opposite call. Out has the ou of loud, two letters for one sound.

How this list was compiled: Every line was written for this site on 2026-09-18 and read aloud for sense. No line is taken from a published sight word list or workbook, and the page claims no list or grade level for the word. Spellings were checked against the macOS system word list on 2026-09-18, and every word in the lines is a headword there. The counts in the spot-the-word rows and the word counts of the sentences were worked out. Come is built from four wide letters, so its rows hold fewer words than the rows on most sibling pages. That come has the short u of cup, rhymes with words in -um, comes from Old English cuman and has the past tense came: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/come (pronunciation, rhymes, etymology and verb forms, checked 2026-09-18). That medieval scribes wrote o for u beside m, n and v, where the short upright strokes ran together, and that the spelling has lasted in come, honey and love: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minim_(palaeography) (checked 2026-09-18). That come and done are common words whose final e no longer lengthens the vowel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_e (checked 2026-09-18). Sound notes describe general American pronunciation.

How it works

Come ends in a silent e, yet it rhymes with hum, not home. This sight word come sheet has the child trace it, circle it among some, came and home, and write it into Come and see.

Read the full guide

Why come is spelled with an o

Old English spelled this word cuman, with a u. Medieval handwriting built u, m and n from one short upright stroke. A u beside an m blurred into a row of identical marks. Scribes wrote o instead, and the habit has lasted in come, love and honey. The final e no longer makes the vowel long, here or in done.

Commands to act out

The phrases are calls: come over, come home, here I come. Four pair the word with a small word the child can decode: come in, come up, come on, come back. They are near the foot of this page, under The sight words and their practice lines. Let the child obey each command before writing it.

  • All four letters sit between the dashed middle line and the base line: nothing tall, no tails.
  • Yesterday's come is came. Write come came come, then ask which one fits a sentence about last night.
  • Did he come home? holds the two words that look like rhymes. Read it aloud and listen to each o.

Questions and answers

Why does my student read come so it rhymes with home?

Because the silent e pattern says it should. Cone, code and home all follow that pattern, and come does not. Say so plainly: this word breaks the rule. Then write home come dome on the board and have the child read it aloud.

Why does my student spell come with a u?

That is how it sounds: the vowel in come is the u of cup and hum. The o is a leftover from medieval handwriting and cannot be heard. Write the missing-letter row c_me s_me d_ne, which drills that o in three words with the quirk.

Can the sight word come be sounded out?

Two of its three sounds can: the c and the m. The o says the short u of cup and the e is silent, so those two letters are learned by sight. Some and done work the same way.
