This five-letter picture spelling worksheet gives children five illustrations, a writing line for each name, and a two-row letter grid to search. The target spellings are santa, knife, onion, mouse, shirt. Name each picture together before starting so the child knows which word the grid is prepared for. These are picture vocabulary words, not a designated high-frequency sight-word list.
Begin with santa, spelled s-a-n-t-a. Find the letters needed in its grid and arrange them in the correct order on the writing line. The grid contains the target letters and extra choices; their positions do not show the answer sequence. Check for repeated letters as well as the first and last letter. Work on one picture row at a time before moving to the next word.
Five written letters do not necessarily represent five separate speech sounds. Read the actual word aloud and help with a spelling pattern that is unfamiliar. An adult can write a model on scrap paper, compare it with the grid, and let the child copy the sequence. This is supported work with written words. A separate oral sound game may accompany it, but searching and writing letters should not be described as phonemic awareness alone.
Explore the Spelling and Word Building Pack for related word practice. The spelling worksheet collection offers individual follow-up pages. Choose two or three rows for a short session, then return to the others later. Read each finished word beside its picture and use one in a spoken sentence so the written label stays connected to its meaning.
