Sight Word “where” Worksheet – Trace, Write and Find
“Where” is the question word for places: “where is my shoe?”, “where do you live?”. It looks like here with a w and h at the front.
What’s on the “where” worksheet
Read and trace “where”, write it alone, circle it among here, were, there, when and wear, then trace “Where is the cat?”
Prints on A4 or US Letter (choose “Fit to page”).
How to teach “where”
Show your child that where hides the word here inside it. Cover the wh to reveal here, then uncover it. Say that wh-words often ask questions: where, what, when. Read it with a curious, questioning voice and a shrug.
Sentences with “where”
- Where is my hat?
- Where do you live?
- Where is the cat?
- Where did the ball go?
Game: Where is teddy?
Hide a teddy somewhere in a room. Write “Where is teddy?” on a card. Your child reads the question and then searches. When they find teddy, they say a sentence about the place, like “in the box”.
Practise next
Try “here” and “find” next: they help children ask and answer place questions.
Questions about “where”
Why does where start with wh?
Many English question words start with wh: what, when, where, why, which. Pointing out the pattern helps children read them all.
My child reads where as “were”. What helps?
Cover the w to show here, then put the w back. Hearing here inside where usually fixes the mix-up.
