Sight Word “do” Worksheet – Trace, Write and Find
“Do” is one of the most common words in English, found in questions like “Do you like it?” and commands like “Do not touch!” It looks simple but does not follow the usual sound rules.
What’s on the “do” worksheet
Read and trace “do”, write it alone, circle it among go, od, so, dot and no, then trace “Do you like jam?”
Prints on A4 or US Letter (choose “Fit to page”).
How to teach “do”
Do rhymes with two and too, not with go and no, so warn your child that it is a rule-breaker. Say “do, do, doo” like a train. Then practise questions that start with do and answer them together: “Do you like ice cream?”
Sentences with “do”
- Do you like jam?
- What do cows eat?
- Do not wake the baby.
- I do my homework.
Game: Do or don’t
Make a pile of silly cards: “Do a jump”, “Do a spin”, “Do not laugh”. Your child reads one and does the action, or tries very hard not to laugh. Then they make up a card for you.
Practise next
Try “to” and “too” next: they sound the same as do at the end, so they are easy to compare.
Questions about “do”
Why does do not rhyme with go?
English borrowed and changed words over many years. Do keeps an older sound, so it is best learned by sight.
What words go well with do?
Try to and two, which sound the same, and you, which shares the oo sound.
