Direction Words: Missing Letter Worksheet With Answer

Description

This worksheet makes spelling fun and challenging by removing one letter from each word. Kids actively recall the missing letter, sound out words, and feel proud when they solve the puzzle.

• Active Recall: Kids must retrieve the correct spelling from memory instead of copying.
• Builds Phonemic Awareness: They sound out words to figure out the missing letter.
• Manageable Challenge: Provides just enough support to prevent frustration while encouraging thinking.
• Teaches a Strategy: Helps them spot missing letters and strengthens editing skills for later writing.

How This Worksheet Guides Your Child to Become a Spelling Detective

1. The Clue (Image): A picture shows the word in context (e.g., an apple with a worm under it).
2. The Puzzle (Missing Letter): The word is shown with one letter missing for active recall.
3. The Solve (Write the Letter): Space to write the missing letter, building confidence.
4. The Victory Lap (Write the Whole Word): Write the complete word on lines to reinforce learning.

3 Tips to Be Your Child’s Spelling Coach

• Cover the Answer, Not the Word: Let them use the picture and sound it out instead of giving the letter directly.
• Praise the Strategy: Celebrate the process, not just the correct answer, to build long-term spelling skills.
