About this resource
Description
Putting words in ABC order is easy until two of them start with the same letter. This Human Body Alphabetical Order Worksheet gives students ten body words, and five of them share a first letter with the word right beside them, so the first letter settles nothing and the student has to keep reading. Skin and skull agree for two letters, and head and heart agree for three. That habit of reading on is exactly what a dictionary, a glossary and an index ask of a young reader.
The Human Body Alphabetical Order Worksheet is a two page printable for 3rd Grade. Page one holds a word box of ten body words printed out of order, from ankle to skull, and ten numbered lines to rewrite them in alphabetical order. A second section gives four word pairs, such as nose and neck, where students circle the word that comes first and then write the number of the letter that decided it. The pairs separate at the first, second and third letters, so each answer can be checked. Page two is the complete answer key. It works well as a 3rd grade alphabetical order worksheet for a literacy center or as a bridge into a human body science unit.
What's Included
- A two page PDF worksheet written for 3rd Grade
- A ten word human body box printed out of alphabetical order
- Ten numbered writing lines with room for a full word
- Four word pairs that ask which letter decided the order
- A complete answer key on the final page
Three Reasons This Helps Kids
- It moves students past first letter sorting to second, third and fourth letter thinking.
- Writing the letter number makes students explain their choice instead of guessing.
- It builds science vocabulary for body parts while practicing a language skill.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the page, write two words that start the same on the board and ask the class where they have to look. After students finish, have them point to each body part they can find on their own body. For an extra challenge, ask students to add three more body words to the list and fit them into the correct spots.
