About this resource
Description
Word families help young readers spot a chunk they already know and use it to read many new words. This it word family worksheet gives first graders practice reading and writing short-i -it words such as knit, split, kit, and sit, so the rime becomes automatic and new words feel easy to decode.
About This Worksheet
The page opens with a word bank of eight -it words. Below it are six simple sentences, each with a box where one word is missing. Children read each sentence, think about which -it word makes sense, and write it in the box. Two words in the bank are extra, so students must read carefully instead of guessing. A cheerful cartoon picture of a striped scarf on knitting needles adds a friendly visual clue for the first sentence. The answer key on page two shows the correct word for every sentence, which makes checking quick for teachers and parents. It is a handy 1st grade word families worksheet for centers, homework, or small-group phonics time.
What’s Included
- A word bank with eight -it word family words
- Six fill-in-the-blank sentences with answer boxes
- A colorful knitting picture that supports one sentence
- A complete answer key
Why Kids Love It
First, every sentence tells a small, familiar story about Grandma knitting, sharing a cookie, and hitting a baseball, so reading feels like fun instead of a drill. Second, the word bank gives beginning readers support while still asking them to choose the word that fits the meaning. Third, writing each word in its box builds spelling skills alongside decoding, so the -it pattern sticks.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting the it word family worksheet, build -it words together with letter cards by changing only the first sound, such as s, h, kn, and spl. After the page, ask children to use the two leftover words, bit and grit, in sentences of their own. You can also hunt for -it words in a favorite storybook and add them to a class word family chart, or play a quick game of word family tic-tac-toe.
