More about these tools
The child traces the word and writes it, circles it in a grid of look-alikes chosen for that word, writes it into a sentence that has a gap, reads and copies a second sentence, and cuts out letter tiles to put in order. An answer key prints last.
Under the sheet each page lists the practice lines written for its word: rows to circle, rows with letters missing, phrases and short sentences. Each page also says what makes its word hard: the letter that does not say its usual sound, the word it gets mixed up with, or the way it shrinks in fast speech. To put several words on one sheet, use sight word worksheets.
