How this list was compiled: Every line was written for this site on 2026-09-19 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 2026-09-19. The counts in the spot-the-word rows and the word counts of the sentences were worked out, as were the facts that there and three use the same five letters and that the, he, her and here sit inside there. That there is said with the voiced th and rhymes with air, and that their and they're are its homophones: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/there (pronunciation, rhymes and homophones, checked 2026-09-19). That where rhymes with there and here does not: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/where and https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/here (checked 2026-09-19). That there is one of the small words said in a reduced form in running speech and in full at the end of a sentence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_and_vowel_reduction_in_English (checked 2026-09-19).

How it works

There gets mixed up from two directions: three by eye and their by ear. This sight word there worksheet has the child trace it, circle it among three, here, they and their, and finish The ball is over ___.

Three, their and the here inside there

There and three are the same five letters, swapped at the third: e in there, r in three. On the board, write the row "there three there" from the full list near the bottom of this page. Only sentences can go on the sheet. Their is the opposite problem: Wiktionary lists it as a homophone, so only spelling separates them. The hook: there is a place word with here inside it, and their has an i.

Two jobs for one word

In "over there" the word points at a place. In "There is a bug." it only starts the sentence. Wikipedia lists there among the small words that shrink in running speech. Six sentences in the list end in there and 4 start with it.

  • Have the child point while reading "over there", "up there" and "down there". The finger ties spelling to place.
  • There does not rhyme with here, though it ends in the same four letters. It rhymes with where and air.
  • "Their cat is there." holds both spellings. The child circles the place word and underlines the owning word.

Questions and answers

How do I teach there, their and they're?

One at a time, and there first. All three sound the same, as Wiktionary records, so the ear cannot help. There is the place word with here inside it. Their has an i and owns something. Leave they're for later.

Why does my student write three for there?

The two words use the same five letters and both start with th. After that the order differs: e-r-e in there, r-e-e in three. Write the row "__ere th__e t__re" on the board. Its middle gap is where the two part ways.

Can the sight word there be sounded out?

Partly. Th is the buzzing team from the and this. The rest, e-r-e, says air in this word but not in here, so it has to be learned with the word. Where uses the same ending and the same sound.
