Teacher tip

Ask kids to reread the whole sentence after they fill the blank.

How to use it

  • Read every word on the sheet out loud together before kids start.
  • Use it in a literacy center with a partner who checks the reading.
  • Play it again later in the week with a different partner. Repeat play builds speed.

Watch for

Kids who read the words in order from memory. Point to words out of order to check.

Talk about it

  • Which words look alike? How do you tell them apart?
  • Which word was the hardest to read? Why?

Take it further

Ask kids to use two of the words in one sentence and draw it.
