Trace and Circle

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to engage students with Dolch sight words through a tracing and matching activity. The sheet features a list of sight words, each in a dotted format for tracing, to help students practice writing. Beneath each traced word, there are two printed words, with one of them being in bold; students are instructed to circle the word that matches the bold word. This provides a two-step learning process: first, by tracing the word to remember its shape and spelling, and second, by recognizing and circling the correct word among options.

The worksheet is aimed at teaching students the spelling and recognition of common English sight words such as “an,” “had,” “think,” “were,” “always,” and “been.” Tracing helps reinforce the motor skills required for writing, while the matching exercise enhances word recognition and attention to detail. This dual approach aids in the consolidation of the students’ vocabulary knowledge and supports their ability to distinguish between similar words. Additionally, the activity strengthens memory retention through repetitive visual and kinetic interaction with each word.
