Pasting Thoughts

Worksheet Description

This worksheet presents a table with two headers, “letters” and “words,” to guide students in sorting different text elements. Beneath the table, there are dashed-line boxes each containing either a single letter or a word. Students are instructed to cut out these boxes and paste them into the appropriate column in the table. The “How Did You Do?” section at the bottom allows students to rate their performance using smiley face emoticons.

The aim of this worksheet is to help students understand the distinction between single letters and whole words. It teaches them to identify individual letters as separate entities from words, which are combinations of letters that have collective meaning. This activity reinforces the basic concept of word formation and enhances the students’ ability to categorize elements of written language. It also provides an opportunity for self-assessment, encouraging students to reflect on their learning outcomes.
