Word Shapes
Worksheet Description
This worksheet is a spelling and word recognition activity for first-grade students. It displays a list of words, including ‘letter’, ‘mother’, ‘sound’, and ‘name’, alongside blank boxes that represent the shape of each word. The students’ task is to write each word from the list into the corresponding boxes that match the word’s shape, considering the length and sequence of the letters. There are eight sets of boxes, each set intended to be filled with one of the words from the list.
The worksheet teaches students to recognize and understand the physical structure of words in terms of their length and the arrangement of their letters. It helps to develop spatial awareness of how words fit into a defined space, which is a precursor to handwriting and typing skills. This activity also reinforces the spelling of the words by requiring the students to recall how each word is formed letter by letter. Additionally, it serves as a visual discrimination exercise, helping students to differentiate between words of various lengths and patterns.
Write all of the words into these letter blocks for each of these 1st grade spelling worksheets.
