About missing letter worksheets

Missing letter sheets turn spelling into a picture puzzle. Kids say the name of the picture, listen for the sound, and circle the letters that finish the word. Choosing from a few options keeps young spellers confident while they learn which letters make which sounds.

The level sets what's missing. Preschoolers pick the first letter, kindergarteners find a missing letter anywhere in a short word, and older kids fill in vowels or common letter chunks in longer words. New words every time you print. Print answer keys if you'd like to check quickly.
