Kindergarten Copywork: Notice the Sight Word

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: copying a sentence while attending to one high-frequency word

1

Read: I like the sun. Circle I.

2

Copy I like the sun.

3

Find and box the in your copy.

4

Read: We can play. Circle can.

5

Copy We can play.

6

Choose I, the, we, or can. Say a new sentence with it to an adult.

Grown-up guide
  1. Read the target word in isolation and again inside the sentence.
  2. Ask the child to copy the entire sentence so the word stays meaningful.
  3. Accept oral sentence creation when independent spelling beyond the target word is not yet ready.
