Sight Word “at” Worksheet – Trace, Write and Find
“At” tells us where or when something is: at home, at the park, at bedtime. It is also the start of the -at word family, so it opens the door to cat, hat and mat.
What’s on the “at” worksheet
Read and trace “at”, write it alone, circle it among ta, it, an, act and ant, then trace “Look at the moon.”
Prints on A4 or US Letter (choose “Fit to page”).
How to teach “at”
Blend a-t together, then show how adding one letter in front builds new words: c-at, h-at, s-at. Your child can build them with magnetic letters while you keep at fixed in the middle of the fridge. Then use it as a place word: “Look at me!”, “We are at school.”
Sentences with “at”
- Look at the moon.
- We are at home.
- The cat sat on a mat.
- See you at school!
Game: Where are we at?
Lay out small picture cards of places, such as a beach, a shop and a bed. Hide a toy figure on one and ask “Where is Teddy at?” Your child answers with a full sentence: “Teddy is at the beach.” Swap roles and let them hide it.
Practise next
Try “ate” and “am” next: they look almost the same, so comparing them sharpens your child’s eye.
Questions about “at”
Should I teach at as a sight word or a phonics word?
Both. It is regular, so blending works, but it appears so often that we want children to know it instantly too.
How does at help with other words?
It is the -at word family ending. Our short a CVC page has picture cards for cat, hat, bat and rat built on it.
