Fill In The Missing Letters

Begin with a shared reading or oral warm-up that highlights missing letters so students hear and see the skill in context before practicing it independently. As students work through the worksheet, encourage them to say answers aloud first and then write them, especially for phonics-based tasks. After completing the worksheet, use one or two examples from the page to start a discussion: "Where else have you seen this in your reading?" These missing letters worksheets are ideal for use during small group reading time, as independent center work, or as a homework activity.

In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
