Circle and Write

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a spelling exercise for first-grade students, where they are presented with pairs of similar words next to images representing one of the words. The students are instructed to circle the correctly spelled word that matches the image. After circling the correct word, they then write the word on the lines provided. Each pair includes a common English word and a misspelled variant, such as ‘trash’ vs ‘tras’ and ‘fish’ vs ‘fesh’.

The worksheet is designed to help students improve their visual discrimination skills by identifying the correct spelling of words associated with an image. It teaches them to focus on common spelling patterns and to pay attention to details in word construction. The act of writing the word after selecting it further reinforces the correct spelling in the students’ memory. This activity also aids in expanding their vocabulary by associating words with their corresponding images, which can help in retention and recall.

You are given two words or word fragments to choose from.  Circle the word that matches the image that you are given. Then write the word on the lines.
