About this worksheet

Printed as "Letter Practice: Sight Words", this kindergarten handwriting sheet uses the Look, Cover, Write, Check routine for ten short words. Students write am, at, is, it, in, go, do, the, you, and said twice from memory, then check their spelling. Three sentences follow for copying, such as "The cat is on the mat.", with a reminder that tall letters like t, d, and h reach the top. It practices Common Core L.K.1.a and RF.K.3.c. A teacher note lists what to look for in letter formation and sizing.

Curriculum objectives covered

L.K.1.a

โ€œPrint many upper- and lowercase letters.โ€

Students print ten words twice each and copy three sentences, keeping tall letters like t, d, and h taller than the small ones.

RF.K.3.c

โ€œRead common high-frequency words by sight (e.g., the, of, to, you, she, my, is, are, do, does).โ€

The Look, Cover, Write, Check table covers sight words such as is, do, the, you, and said, and all three sentences reuse them.

What's inside this worksheet

Sight Word Practice

A table of ten words, from am to said. Students look, cover the word with a hand, write it twice, and add a check mark.

Handwriting Sentences

Students copy "The cat is on the mat.", "Look at the dog go.", and "You said it is you." onto lines, keeping small letters in the middle.

How teachers use it

Model the routine

Do am together first: look, cover, write, uncover, check. Once students know the steps, the rest of the table runs on its own.

Said and you

Said and you do not follow the sound rules. Expect spellings like sed, and let students fix them in the Check column.

Writing center

Put the sentence page in a sheet protector at a center. Students trace with a dry-erase marker before they copy onto paper.
