What your child practices

Short O Words is a core kindergarten and 1st grade language arts skill, and this set gives your child 59 questions over 6 worksheets. Young learners pick up language rules by seeing many short examples, so each page keeps the directions simple and the examples close to everyday speech. It opens with a guided Learn and Practice page, moves on to a practice sheet and a review test, then finishes with two quick quizzes and a mixed review. Each sheet supports Common Core RF.K.3b, covering phonics and decoding words. It also touches RF.K.2d, hearing and working with the sounds in spoken words. In Canada it matches the BC curriculum for Kindergarten. Every PDF prints on US letter paper, with the answer key on page 2 for quick checking. Before printing, try the Short O Words video lesson, then print a sheet while it is fresh.

Tips for parents

  • Read each direction aloud. At this age the skill matters more than reading the instructions.
  • Praise effort and careful checking as much as a perfect score.
  • Ask your child to explain why an answer is right, not just what it is.
