The sight words and their practice lines

The word on its own 3

  • so 2 letters for 2 sounds: a hissing s, then an o that says its own name. Both letters are short and round, and they sit between the dashed line and the base line.

Read the full guide

Two jobs for two letters

In "so big" and "I am so glad." so means very. Wiktionary's usage note calls "very" the more matter-of-fact and says "so" shows more feeling. In "I fell, so I got up." it means that is why. Wikipedia's article on conjunctions lists so among seven common joining words, as the one that presents a consequence.

Reasons to finish

The joined sentences in the full list near the bottom of this page make a writing prompt. Read "It is cold, so zip up." and cover everything after so. The child writes a new ending: what else happens because it is cold? Then do the same with "We won, so we grin." Only sentences can go on the sheet, so rows are for the board.

  • Sew and sow sound exactly like so. Hold them for later: sew takes a needle, sow takes seeds.
  • Read "My bag is so big." aloud, then again with very. The meaning holds and the feeling drops.
  • In the row "so is so us so as", the s hisses in so and us and buzzes in is and as.

Questions and answers

Does so rhyme with go and no, or with to and do?

With go and no. One vowel letter closing a short word usually says its name, and so keeps to that. To and do are the odd ones out, with an oo sound. The row "so go so to so do" holds both.

Does a comma always go before so?

No. Wiktionary ties the comma to so in the sense "as a result", chiefly in North American writing. When so means very, as in "You are so kind.", there is none. "Sit so I can see." has none: that so is short for so that.

My student starts every sentence with so. What helps?

Show that this so needs a reason in front of it. Cover the first half of "I fell, so I got up." and read what is left. Ask why, and the child supplies the missing half.
