Step-by-step solution for: Kindergarten Sight Word Worksheet (Reading Street) by Miss Ilyssa ...
It looks like you've uploaded a sight word worksheet titled *"I Know My Sight Words!"* This is a common educational activity for early readers to practice recognizing and writing high-frequency words. Let's go through the worksheet step by step and explain how to complete it.
---
The worksheet has five columns:
1. Read It – The sight word is printed.
2. Clap It – Students clap once for each syllable (though these are mostly one-syllable words).
3. Trace It – Students trace over the word.
4. Write It – Students write the word independently.
5. Spell It – Students fill in the correct number of boxes with letters (like a word puzzle).

Let’s go through each row and show how to complete it properly.
| Read It | Clap It | Trace It | Write It | Spell It |
|--------|--------|---------|---------|---------|
| the | ☐ ☐ ☐ | the | the | t h e |
| see | ☐ ☐ ☐ | see | see | s e e |
| have | ☐ ☐ ☐ | have | have | h a v e |
| is | ☐ ☐ | is | is | i s |
| we | ☐ ☐ | we | we | w e |
| like | ☐ ☐ ☐ | like | like | l i k e |
| with | ☐ ☐ ☐ | with | with | w i t h |
| look | ☐ ☐ ☐ | look | look | l o o k |
| she | ☐ ☐ ☐ | she | she | s h e |
| my | ☐ ☐ | my | my | m y |
| he | ☐ ☐ | he | he | h e |
| little | ☐ ☐ ☐ | little | little | l i t t l e |

#### 1. Read It
- Simply read the word aloud. For example: "the", "see", "have", etc.
#### 2. Clap It
- Clap once for each syllable.
- All these words are one-syllable except:
- "little" → two syllables: *lit-tle* → 2 claps
- But wait — actually, "little" is often pronounced as two syllables, so it should be 2 claps, not 3.
- However, the worksheet shows 3 circles for "little", which may be a mistake or intended for letter count.
> ⚠️ Note: The "clap it" section seems to use number of letters, not syllables. That’s a common confusion.
> - "the" = 3 letters → 3 claps
> - "is" = 2 letters → 2 claps
> - "little" = 6 letters → 6 claps? But only 3 circles shown.
Wait — looking closely, there are only 3 circles under "little". That might be an error. Let's check:
- "little" has 6 letters: l-i-t-t-l-e → should have 6 circles for "clap it" if it's counting letters.
- But only 3 circles are provided.
👉 Likely, this is a typo or misalignment. Probably meant to be 6 circles.
But since the worksheet shows 3 circles, maybe it's intended to represent syllables?
- "little" = 2 syllables → but still not 3.
So perhaps the "clap it" column is meant to represent letter count, but the number of circles doesn't match.
✔ Best interpretation: The number of circles corresponds to the number of letters in the word.
Let’s fix the errors:
| Word | Letters | Clap It (Circles) | Correct? |
|--------|--------|-------------------|--------|
| the | 3 | 3 ☐☐☐ | ✔ |
| see | 3 | 3 ☐☐☐ | ✔ |
| have | 4 | 4 ☐☐☐☐ | ✔ |
| is | 2 | 2 ☐☐ | ✔ |
| we | 2 | 2 ☐☐ | ✔ |
| like | 4 | 4 ☐☐☐☐ | ✔ |
| with | 4 | 4 ☐☐☐☐ | ✔ |
| look | 4 | 4 ☐☐☐☐ | ✔ |
| she | 3 | 3 ☐☐☐ | ✔ |
| my | 2 | 2 ☐☐ | ✔ |
| he | 2 | 2 ☐☐ | ✔ |
| little | 6 | 3 ☐☐☐ | ✘ Error! Should be 6 circles
👉 So the "little" row has an error: it should have 6 circles under "Clap It".
But since you're solving it, assume that students are to count the letters and clap once per letter.
So for "little", they should clap 6 times.
But since the worksheet only gives 3 circles, it's likely a printing error.
---
In the "Trace It" column, students trace the word.
In the "Write It" column, they write the word on their own.
In the "Spell It" column, they fill in the boxes with letters.
For example:
- "the" → t _ h _ e → fill in: t, h, e
- "little" → l, i, t, t, l, e
> The spelling boxes should reflect the correct number of letters.
But again, for "little", the boxes are too few (only 3), so it's probably a formatting issue.

Here’s how the corrected version should look:
| Read It | Clap It (Letters) | Trace It | Write It | Spell It |
|--------|------------------|---------|---------|---------|
| the | ☐ ☐ ☐ (3) | the | the | t h e |
| see | ☐ ☐ ☐ (3) | see | see | s e e |
| have | ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ (4) | have | have | h a v e |
| is | ☐ ☐ (2) | is | is | i s |
| we | ☐ ☐ (2) | we | we | w e |
| like | ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ (4) | like | like | l i k e |
| with | ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ (4) | with | with | w i t h |
| look | ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ (4) | look | look | l o o k |
| she | ☐ ☐ ☐ (3) | she | she | s h e |
| my | ☐ ☐ (2) | my | my | m y |
| he | ☐ ☐ (2) | he | he | h e |
| little | ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ (6) | little | little | l i t t l e |
> ⚠️ Note: The original worksheet has only 3 circles under "little" — this is incorrect. It should have 6.

This worksheet helps build:
- Sight word recognition
- Fine motor skills (tracing, writing)
- Phonemic awareness (clapping for letters/syllables)
- Spelling (letter formation)
Encourage students to:
- Say the word aloud
- Clap for each letter
- Trace carefully
- Write independently
- Fill in the spelling boxes correctly

To solve this worksheet:
1. Read each word.
2. Clap once for each letter (not syllable).
3. Trace the word.
4. Write the word on your own.
5. Spell it by filling in the boxes with the correct letters.
> Fix: The "little" row has a typo — it needs 6 circles in "Clap It" and 6 boxes in "Spell It".
