The sight words and their practice lines

The word on its own 3

  • who 3 letters for 2 sounds: hoo. The w is silent, the h does the work, and the o says oo as it does in do and to. Only the h goes tall.
  • Who who Capital W beside small w: the same zigzag at two heights. Who opens most of the questions it appears in, so the capital gets the most use.
  • who who who who Four to trace in one row. It reads like an owl, which is a fair way to remember the sound: hoo, hoo.

Spot-the-word rows 4

  • own who won who Circle who 2 times. Own and won keep the w and the o and swap the h for an n, which is an h with a short stick.
  • two who too who to Circle who 2 times. Two, too and to all rhyme with who, and two hides a silent w of its own.
  • who how who now Circle who 2 times. How is the same three letters in another order, and now ends the way how does.
  • why who what who Circle who 2 times. All three question words open with w-h. In why and what most speakers say the w; in who they say the h.

Missing-letter rows 3

  • wh_ d_ t_ tw_ The same letter fills all four gaps: who, do, to, two. In every one of them the o says oo.
  • wh_ w_o _ho One letter is missing each time: o, then h, then w. The last gap is the hard one, because no w can be heard.
  • who wh_ w__ ___ A fading row. One more letter comes from memory each time, and the last who is written with nothing to copy.

Short phrases with who 10

  • guess who Who comes last. The u in guess is silent, so the phrase holds two silent letters.
  • who can help Can sounds out, and help ends in the blend l-p. Who and help open with the same sound, spelled two ways.
  • who did it Did and it sound out, which leaves who as the one word to know on sight.
  • who else Else ends in a silent e. Ask it after the first hand goes up.
  • who has it Who and has start with the same sound and different letters: w-h in one, plain h in the other.
  • who is next What a teacher says all day. Next ends in x, which says k-s.
  • who said so Said is a word to learn whole. So ends in an o that says its name; the o in who says oo.
  • who was here Was looks as if it should rhyme with has, and rhymes with buzz instead. Who and here start with the same h sound.
  • who will go Three words with a w or an o in each. Will keeps its w sound, who loses it, and go has none.
  • you know who Know starts with a silent k, and who with a silent w. You and who rhyme.

Questions and sentences to read and copy 14

  • Guess who I am. 4 words. A command, so it ends in a period. Hands over a friend's eyes, then say it.
  • I know who it is. 5 words and no question mark. Who sits in the middle with a small w, because nothing is being asked.
  • Look who is here. 4 words. Said in surprise, not asked. Look has the double o of book.
  • Who are you? 3 words, and none of them sounds out. Who and you rhyme, so the line is easy to say and hard to spell.
  • Who can hop? 3 words. Can and hop sound out. Let the class answer with a name and a hop.
  • Who fed the cat? 4 words. Fed and cat sound out. The answer can start with a name or with I did.
  • Who has my hat? 4 words. Who, has and hat all begin with the h sound, and only who spells it w-h.
  • Who is at the door? 5 words. The longer form of Who is it? Door has the double o of floor, not of moon.
  • Who is it? 3 words and a question mark. Is and it sound out, so who is the only word to know by sight. Say it through a closed door.
  • Who is there? 3 words. The second line of every knock-knock joke, with the two words written out in full.
  • Who took my pen? 4 words. Took has the double o of book and look. Pen sounds out.
  • Who wants to play? 4 words. Who and to rhyme. The a in wants sounds like a short o, as it does in wash.
  • Who will go first? 4 words. First has the ir of bird and ends in the blend s-t.
  • Who, me? 2 words, the shortest line here, with a comma and a question mark. Read it with a hand on the chest.

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. The counts in the spot-the-word rows and the word counts of the sentences were worked out. That who is said hoo, with the vowel Wiktionary files under the same rhyme as do, to and two, that its old hw sound became h with no change in spelling, and that how went the same way earlier and so is spelled with a plain h: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/who (pronunciation, rhymes and etymology, checked 2026-09-18). That the wh of who is said as h while the wh of what, when and why is said as w by most speakers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronunciation_of_English_%E2%9F%A8wh%E2%9F%A9 (checked 2026-09-18). Sound notes describe general American pronunciation. Licence: own work

How it works

Who is said hoo, with a silent w, a talking h and an o that says oo. This sight word who worksheet has the child trace it and circle it among "how", "why", "two" and "now". They finish the sentence ___ is it?

Read the full guide

A silent w, and an o that says oo

What, when and why begin with the same two letters, and most speakers drop the h. In who the h is heard and the w is not. A child who spells by ear writes hoo or hu. The o is the second surprise. It says oo, as in do, to and two. On the board, the row "wh_ d_ t_ tw_" takes one letter four times.

The question a child can answer with a name

"Who" asks for a person, so it is easy to act out. Hold up a hat. Ask "Who has my hat?" The answer is a name or "I do." Under Pick from the 14 sentences with "who", three ask nothing and end in a period. "I know who it is." is one.

  • How and who share three letters and a first sound. The endings differ: ow in how, oo in who.
  • An owl says the word for you. Hoot it together, then write who four times.
  • Tell a knock-knock joke, let the class shout the second line, then write "Who is there?"

Questions and answers

What should a who sight word worksheet include?

The word to trace, a grid that hides it among how and now, and a question to finish, capital W included. The grid tests letter order. On the board, add a gap row such as "wh_ w_o _ho", so the silent w gets written.

Why is who spelled with a w that nobody says?

The w used to be heard. Wiktionary traces who to Old English hwa. It notes that the hw sound later became a plain h with no change in spelling. How made the same move earlier, early enough to be spelled with a plain h.

How do I help a child who reads who as how?

The letters match, so order is everything. Write the row "who how who now" on the board. The child names the first letter of each word, then circles who 2 times. Say both words aloud and listen for the endings, oo and ow.
