Spell the Word with Easter

Sound it out and build it. Each picture of an egg, a bunny and a basket is a word for the child to spell by writing its letters into the blanks. Because the word is not shown, the child must encode it from its sounds — the foundation of Kindergarten writing. Short, familiar Easter things mean a child can say the word, hear each sound, and choose the letter that matches, one at a time.

Early spelling grows from hearing the sounds in a word and matching each to a letter. This worksheet drills that one word at a time: the picture supplies the word, the child supplies the letters. Because the child produces the spelling rather than copying or reading it, it builds the sound-letter knowledge Kindergarten writing depends on. The Easter things keep every word concrete and sayable, and each finished word is a small proof that a child can turn sounds into print.

Children who like easter settle into the sounding-out, and building each word gives a small win. When this feels easy, spell the words in spell the word with feelings, or try spell the word with fruits. You can also browse every spelling worksheet or the whole Easter things collection for kindergarten — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and every word a child builds makes the next one easier to sound out.
