What this page practices

Read, trace and copy public-domain Dolch or Fry words.

RF.1.3.G: Recognize and read grade-appropriate irregularly spelled words.

Practice supports the cited skill; the worksheet does not cover every aspect of the full standard. Read the source standard.

A useful way to practice

  1. Read each word aloud before tracing it. Use one word in a short spoken sentence to connect it to meaning.
  2. Choose a small set of words for each session. Cover the model for one attempt, then check the letters and revisit the same words later.
  3. Print at 100% scale and check that the paper size matches the PDF.
