About the -it Word Family
All -it words share the short i sound, as in igloo. This pack practises reading and writing sit, hit, kit and pit. For extra writing practice, ask your child to write two more -it words, such as bit or fit, on scrap paper.
Write it together: copy the sentence “Sit down and get your kit.” and circle every -it word.

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