High-frequency words come up so often in reading and writing that children need to know their exact letters at a glance. Some of them, such as said, was and one, cannot be sounded out, so a child who spells them by sound writes sed or wun. On this grade 1 worksheet each line is a sentence with a word missing, followed by three spellings of the word, and your child circles the one that is spelled correctly.
The wrong spellings are made-up words, so only one choice looks right to a reader who knows the word. Read the whole sentence first so the right word is clear, then check the letters one at a time.
Common Core standard: RF.1.3.G
