Sight Word “little” Worksheet – Trace, Write and Find
“Little” is a describing word for small things: a little bird, a little cup, a little sister. Its double t gives it a special shape.
What’s on the “little” worksheet
Read and trace “little”, write it alone, circle it among lit, tile, kettle, title and bottle, then trace “A little bird.”
Prints on A4 or US Letter (choose “Fit to page”).
How to teach “little”
Clap the two beats of lit-tle with your child. Show that the end, -tle, sounds like “tul”, and that the two t’s stand side by side like twins. Look for little things around the house and read the word next to each.
Sentences with “little”
- I have a little cat.
- The little bird can sing.
- Look at my little car.
- A little fish swims.
Game: Little and big parade
Line up toys in pairs, one big and one little. Your child reads a card with big or little and picks the matching toy from a pair. Then they line the little toys up in a parade and count them.
Practise next
Try “big” and “funny” next: they describe things just like little.
Questions about “little”
Why does little have two t’s?
The double t keeps the i short, so it says “lit”. Your child will see the same idea in bottle and kettle.
My child confuses little and litter. What helps?
Point to the endings: little ends in le, litter ends in er. Reading both in a sentence shows the difference quickly.
