Sight Word “his” Worksheet: Read, Trace and Circle
“His” shows that something belongs to a boy or man: his dog, his book, his turn. It is the word we use instead of saying a name again.
Inside the free “his” PDF
Four short activities: trace “his”, write it on your own, find it in a grid with him, has, is, hip and hiss, and trace the sentence “That is his hat.”.
Teaching tips for “his”
His sounds like “hiz”: the s buzzes. Teach it with has and is, which share the buzzy s. Then use real objects: hold up Dad’s shoe and ask whose shoe it is. Your child answers: it is his shoe. Do the same with her for girls and women.
Try this game: Whose is it?
Collect a few items from family members. Hold each one up and ask whose it is. Your child says “It is his…” or “It is her…” and hands it to the right person.
“his” in a sentence

“his”: quick answers
What is the difference between his and him?
His shows ownership (his bike). Him is used after an action (I see him).
Does his sound like hiss?
No. The s says /z/, so his rhymes with is and fizz, not with hiss.
