About the -op Word Family
All -op words share the short o sound, as in octopus. This pack practises reading and writing hop, mop, pop and top. For extra writing practice, ask your child to write two more -op words, such as cop or shop, on scrap paper.
Write it together: copy the sentence “Hop to the top and stop.” and circle every -op word.

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