Write it together: copy the sentence “Put the pin in the tin.” and circle every -in word.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which -in words will my child read and write?
The word list covers bin, pin, fin and tin, and the later pages use -in words in jumbled-letter puzzles, sentences and a short story.
How is this different from the no-writing -in pack?
The no-writing pack only asks children to point, circle and match. This pack adds spelling, sentence building, a short story and comprehension questions, so it is best done after the no-writing pack.
How can I help my child spell -in words?
Say the word slowly, one sound at a time, and write each sound as you hear it: b-i-n. Then change only the first letter to spell the next -in word.
How many pages are in the -in reading and writing pack?
There are 7 printable pages. You need a printer and a pencil.
