Grade 1 Spelling Worksheet - Building Confidence
Write the letter that makes the word.
A __at flies at night.
A __at is a small animal with a long tail.

I wear a __at on my head.
The morning was full of __og.
A __og is a big pig.
I __og in the park to get strong.
A __og barks.
A word family is a group of words that end the same way and rhyme: cat, hat and bat are the -at family. The ending stays the same and only the first letter changes, so learning one family gives a child many words at once. On this worksheet each line is a short sentence with a word that is missing its first letter, and the family ending is printed after the gap, such as ____at.
Your child reads the sentence, thinks about which word fits and writes the letter that makes the word. Two families are on a sheet, so the same endings come up again and again, and the six versions use different families. Say the whole family out loud when you finish: cat, hat, bat, mat, rat.
Common Core standard: RF.1.3.B
A ____at says meow. The ending is -at. A cat says meow, so the missing letter is c. Write c.
Writing a letter that makes a real word that does not fit the sentence, such as b for A ____at says meow.
