Teacher tip
The e at the end is silent but the a stays short. Just practice it as a word to know.
How to use it
- Make it the word of the day: post it on the door and ask kids to read it on the way out.
- Put the sheet in a page protector for dry-erase practice all week.
- Play it again later in the week with a different partner. Repeat play builds speed.
Watch for
Kids who count look-alike words as matches in the find it box. Ask them to check every letter.
Talk about it
- Where might you see this word in a book?
- Which words look alike? How do you tell them apart?
