The sight words and their practice lines

The word on its own 3

  • has 3 letters for 3 sounds: h, short a, then a z sound spelled with s. The h is the only tall letter, and it comes first.
  • Has has Capital H beside small h. The capital is needed when the word opens a question, as in Has she fed the cat?
  • has has has has Four to trace in one row. Say haz each time the pencil reaches the s, so the hand and the ear learn the odd letter together.

Spot-the-word rows 4

  • as has is has Circle has 2 times. As is the target with its h taken off. Is ends in the same z sound and is just as short.
  • has his has had has Circle has 3 times. His changes only the vowel. Had changes only the last letter, and it is the same verb moved into the past.
  • hat has ham has hay Circle has 2 times. Hat, ham and hay all open with h-a, so the child has to read through to the last letter.
  • was has gas has Circle has 2 times. All three words end in a-s and no two say it alike: was says uz, gas ends in the hissing s of bus, and the target says az.

Missing-letter rows 3

  • ha_ h_s _as One letter is missing each time: s, then a, then h. The s comes first because a child writing by ear reaches for a z.
  • ha_ ha_ ha_ One letter decides the word. Finish the three with s, d and t, then read them aloud: has, had, hat.
  • has ha_ h__ ___ A fading row. Copy the word, then write one more letter from memory each time until all three are the child's own.

  • has to nap Has to. Nap sounds out. Listen for the hissing s again: hass-to nap.
  • he has Who has. One boy or man, so the verb is has. With I, you, we or they it would be have.

Has goes with one owner, and its s says z until to comes next. On this sight word has worksheet the child traces has and circles it among his, had, hat and as. Then the child finishes He ___ a red hat.

One owner takes has

Wiktionary defines has in one line: the form of have for a single he, she or it. The phrases near the foot of this page, under The sight words and their practice lines, teach that. Six name an owner (he has, Mom has, the box has), four say what is owned, and two are has to. Has is also a helper, in Has she fed the cat? and The sun has set.

The s says z, until to comes next

Wiktionary gives has as haz and rhymes it with jazz. Before to, the same entry lists a second pronunciation, hass, so the has in Dad has to go. hisses. Write the row was has gas has on the board: three a-s endings, three sounds.

  • Play owner swap. Say I have a pen, point to one child, and the class answers She has a pen.
  • Write the row ha_ ha_ ha_ and dictate has, had, hat into it. The last letter decides the word.
  • Pair Has she fed the cat? with Yes, she has. Ending a sentence, has is a clear haz.

Questions and answers

Why is the has sight word spelled with an s, not a z?

English ends many small words in a z sound written s: is, his, as and was all do it. A child who writes haz heard the word correctly. Show the s, then write the missing-letter row ha_ h_s _as, which asks for that letter first.

When is it has and when is it have?

Has goes with one owner that is not I or you: he, she, it, a name, my dog, the box. Every other owner takes have, and so does more than one: dogs have.

Why does has sound different in has to?

Before to, the word is said with a real s, and nothing changes on paper. Let the child hear both: say He has a pet, then He has to go, and ask which one hisses.
