Word Guess
49 worksheets
Word-guess worksheets give early spellers a friendly way to build words. A picture clue shows the word, and the child fills the blank letters to spell it — sounding out, matching letters to sounds, and confirming with the picture. It is phonics and spelling practice that feels like a small puzzle, with word length and support pitched for K-3. Each word-guess worksheet is a free printable PDF with a matching play-online version: the interactive one accepts typed letters and checks the spelling, the printable suits a literacy centre or homework, and an answer key is included. The whole set is available in all 11 languages we publish in.
How to use these worksheets
Print the PDF for a no-prep classroom or homework task, or open the play-online version on a tablet or whiteboard for instant feedback. Every worksheet includes an answer key, so children can self-check or work independently. Mix sheets across themes and grade levels to build a short Word Guess lesson, or send one home for extra practice.
