Worksheet Description

You will use numbers to determine the order of all of these words.

This worksheet is a sorting activity designed to help students practice placing words in alphabetical order. It features several boxes, each containing a single word, such as “lip,” “ant,” “bed,” “mom,” “boy,” “dad,” “rat,” “sun,” “cup,” “dig,” “vet,” and “pig.” The students are instructed to write numbers 1, 2, and 3 inside the boxes to indicate the order of the words when sorted alphabetically. This requires them to analyze the first letter of each word and determine its position in the alphabet relative to the others.

The worksheet’s primary educational purpose is to develop young learners’ abilities to alphabetize words, an essential skill in literacy. It encourages students to recognize the first letter of each word and understand its alphabetical sequence. The activity also promotes critical thinking as students must decide which word comes first, second, and so on. Moreover, by involving a variety of simple and familiar words, the worksheet is accessible to students who are just beginning to learn these concepts.
