Teacher tip
The k is silent. Contrast it with “no” so kids see two words that sound the same.
How to use it
- Introduce the word on the board, read it, spell it out loud and use it in a sentence before handing out the sheet.
- Do the trace and color boxes together, then let kids finish the find it and sentence parts on their own.
- Use it in a literacy center with a partner who checks the reading.
Watch for
Kids who count look-alike words as matches in the find it box. Ask them to check every letter.
