Teacher tip

Look-alikes are the point. Ask kids to read the whole sentence out loud.

How to use it

  • Send a copy home so families can play too.
  • 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.

Watch for

Kids who guess from the first letter. Ask them to look at the whole word, all the way to the end.
