Christmas Fill in the Blanks: Idea #81

Most teachers do not like to give worksheets. As a teacher I felt better giving worksheets if they were beneficial and fun. Any Christmas worksheet you give your student is automatically fun. Just the pictures alone get them excited. Try giving your student a 'Fill in the Blanks' worksheet to practice letter sounds. 

Filling in the blanks gives your student the opportunity to sound out words and fill in the missing letters sounds. It is great practice! The difficult part for your student might be the middle and ending blanks. If this is the case, make some adjustments on the worksheet, so that they only have to fill in the missing beginning letter sound:

When students are learning letter sounds and are in the beginning stages of reading, it is so important that we give them opportunities to succeed. Sometimes making a worksheet a little bit easier is just the thing to boost their confidence.
