About this resource

Description

This sun writing worksheet helps 1st grade students learn simple, true facts about the Sun. Children read six short sentences about the Sun and write the missing word in each one, using a word bank to help them spell every answer.

Each sentence shares one idea about what the Sun is and what it does for us: it gives heat and light, it is a big, hot star, it comes up every day, and plants need sunlight to grow. Two extra words in the bank do not fit any sentence, so students must read carefully instead of guessing. This 1st grade sun worksheet works well for a science lesson, a writing center, or homework.

What’s Included

A word bank with eight words, including two that fit no sentence
Six fill-in-the-blank sentences about the Sun
A cheerful crayon-style picture of the Sun and a growing plant
An answer key for quick checking

Why This Worksheet Helps Kids

First, it builds early science knowledge about how the Sun gives us heat and light. Second, it strengthens reading for meaning, because each answer must make sense in its sentence. Third, copying the words from the bank gives children extra spelling and handwriting practice.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Before the page, step outside and ask children what they notice about the Sun. Talk about why we never look right at it. After students finish the sun writing worksheet, invite them to write one more sentence of their own about the Sun and draw a picture to match. You can also place a plant in a sunny window and one in a dark spot, then compare them after a week. Children will see for themselves why plants need sunlight to grow strong and green.
