The Missing Letter: Free Spelling Worksheet for Kids
Use picture clues to make early spelling practice easier and more meaningful. Children name each picture, study the incomplete word and write the letter needed to complete it. The combination of visual clues and word patterns helps learners draw on both vocabulary and phonics knowledge.
Why this worksheet helps
The activity supports spelling, letter-sound relationships, vocabulary and handwriting. Because the task is short, visual and easy to print, it can be used as independent practice, a lesson warm-up, homework or a screen-free learning break. Children can work at their own pace and revisit any question that needs more thought.
How to use this printable activity
Ask children to say the full word slowly and listen for the missing sound. After writing the letter, they should read the completed word aloud. Use two or three words in short sentences for additional practice. Keep the focus on explaining the thinking process rather than finishing quickly. A short conversation after the activity can help children notice strategies they can reuse in future questions.
