What Kids Practise in This Worksheet

This worksheet builds correct spelling of common Grade 1 words through repeated practice.

• Writing each word from memory
• Look, cover, write and check practice
• Simple fill-in-the-blank spelling activities
• Matching words to pictures

Why Early Spelling Practice Matters

Learning to spell common words early makes reading and writing much smoother. When a child can spell everyday words without thinking, they can focus on ideas rather than struggling with each word. Grade 1 is the ideal stage to build these foundations.

Regular short practice works far better than memorising long lists at once.

How to Use This Worksheet at Home

Print on A4 and use the look-cover-write-check method: the child looks at the word, covers it, writes it, then checks. Practise 5 to 6 words a day and revisit tricky ones. Saying each letter aloud while writing helps memory.

Turn it into a friendly weekly spelling test to keep children motivated.
