Frequently Asked Questions
Which -ip words will my child read and write?
The word list covers hip, lip, zip and sip, and the later pages use -ip words in jumbled-letter puzzles, sentences and a short story.
How is this different from the no-writing -ip 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 -ip words?
Say the word slowly, one sound at a time, and write each sound as you hear it: h-i-p. Then change only the first letter to spell the next -ip word.
How many pages are in the -ip reading and writing pack?
There are 7 printable pages. You need a printer and a pencil.
