Today I am practising: using sentence meaning to identify sight words

I ___ a red bug. (see / says) Circle the word that makes sense.

___ can jump. (We / Was) Choose and read the full sentence.

Come ___ me. (to / the) Write the missing word.

I ___ my mom. (like / little) Circle the word that fits.

The cat ___ on a mat. (is / in) Choose, then draw the sentence.

Write a sentence with two choices for an adult. Mark the word that makes sense.

Grown-up note: Ask your learner to explain one answer in their own words.

For the grown-up

How to teach this page

Step 1Have the child read both options in the sentence before choosing.
Step 2Ask 'What does the whole sentence say?' rather than cueing by the first letter.
Step 3Use the drawing item as a quick check that the chosen sentence was understood.
