Sound Substitution Word Change Worksheet for 1st Grade
The Sound Substitution Word Change worksheet builds sound substitution skills by having children change the middle sound of a word to make a new word.
This matters at age 6 because early reading is starting to depend on hearing small sound differences. When parents get stuck, it is often because kids want to rush through pages, or the worksheet feels similar to other letter work.
Use the worksheet for quick, shared turns. Choose one row, say the starting word out loud, underline the middle sound with your finger, then swap it to make the new word. Have the child say the new word and point to the correct answer on that same row.
What makes this page different from a generic printable is that it focuses on one specific move, changing just the middle sound. That makes it easier to practice the exact skill and get many small wins in one short session.
