Words vs. Letters Columns

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed for young learners to differentiate between letters and words. It presents a simple table with two columns labeled “Letters” and “Words” respectively. Below the table, there are dashed boxes containing a mix of single letters and words that the student is expected to cut out and paste into the correct column. The bottom of the worksheet features a section titled “How Did You Do?” with emoticons for the student to rate their own performance.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students to recognize the difference between individual letters and whole words. It helps in building foundational literacy skills, emphasizing the concept that letters combine to form words, which are the building blocks of language. This sorting activity also enhances fine motor skills through the cutting and pasting process. By assessing their own work with the emoticons, students are encouraged to reflect on their learning experience.
