The “from” page at a glance

Children trace “from”, write it from memory, hunt for it among form, for, frog, farm and foam, and finish by tracing “This gift is from Gran.”.

On the Dolch first grade list, “from” sits at number 11 of 41. Children often learn it between ages 6–7, building on the primer words. It contains the fr blend, so it pairs well with our R blends worksheet.

Example sentences

  • This gift is from Gran.
  • I walked home from school.
  • Where are you from?
  • We got eggs from the hens.

Helping your child learn “from”

From can be sounded out, but many children read it as form or for. Point to each letter, f-r-o-m, and stretch the sounds. Then play postal workers: write a few pretend letters “from” different family members or toys, and your child reads who each one is from.

Play Where is it from?

Hold up foods or objects and ask where they come from: milk from a cow, eggs from a hen, apples from a tree. Your child answers with a full sentence using from.

Where to go next

After this one, move on to “of” and “over” (they are also little words that describe position and direction).

Parents ask about “from”

My child reads from as form. What helps?

That is a common mix-up because the letters are the same. Ask your child to say each sound in order: f, r, o, m. Tracing the word slowly helps too.

Is the o in from a short o?

In many accents, from is said with a quick, weak vowel, almost like “frum”. That is why it is on the sight word list.
