About this worksheet
A small group of very common words appears so often that recognizing them quickly makes early reading smoother. Words such as the, said and you may not follow the sound patterns a beginning reader expects, while even regular words take too much effort if they must be decoded on every page. On this page every item is the same job: one word is printed in large letters, and three words sit beside it, and the child circles the one that is exactly the same.
The wrong words are real words that look alike, such as the and then, so a child who guesses from the first letter will be caught, and one who checks every letter will be right. This is set one, the words children meet first. Support sheets use the plainer look-alikes, and standard and challenge sheets use the closest ones. If a word is missed, name it, read it in a short sentence together, and come back to it another day.
What your child will learn
- Recognize common words by sight

Common Core standard: RF.K.3.C
