The sight words and their practice lines

The word on its own 3

  • go 2 letters for 2 sounds: g, then an o that says its own name. The g hangs a tail under the base line. On this sheet it is the one-loop g that children write, not the two-loop g of most book type.
  • Go go Capital G beside small g. The capital stands on the base line and has no tail; the small one hangs under it. Go takes the capital when it opens an order.
  • go go go go Four to trace in one row. Every g starts like the o beside it, with the same round stroke, then adds a stick and a tail.

  • go good go goat Circle go 2 times. Good and goat both open with g, o. The oa in goat says the o of go, and the oo in good says the short sound of book.
  • got go get go dog Circle go 2 times. Got is go with a t on the end, which turns the o short. Get opens with the same g, and dog holds the g and the o in the other order.
  • no go so go on Circle go 2 times. No and so rhyme with go and differ only in the first letter. On is no turned around, and its o is short.

Missing-letter rows 3

  • go g_ __ The word fades across the row: whole, then half, then gone. The last blank is go from memory.
  • go n_ s_ The same letter finishes all three words: go, no, so. An o at the end of a short word usually says its name.
