These worksheets are a great tool to check your students’ understanding of oo words!
My Five is a great reader, but when it comes to reading words in isolation, his phonics skills need some work. I’ve been putting together a variety of games and activities for simple phonics patterns. After working our way through the silent e words, we tackled “oo” words.
We did a Froot Loop activity page.
We played “Boo,” a card game that features oo words.
We played his favorite, Four-in-a-Row.
After we do hands-on activities, I like to finish with a few printed worksheets to assess what he’s learned. This pack includes nine pages. I let him choose the ones he wanted to do.
He started with this fill in the blank page. It’s his favorite! If your child is at a more basic phonics level, I would suggest skipping this one.
I remember that when I tried one of these read and draw pages with my oldest son, he melted down. His perfectionism made it very difficult for him to even attempt drawing something he didn’t know how to draw.
My Five has no such worries. 😉 It’s fun to see what he comes up with.
Here’s a simple spelling practice page.
This one took him less than a minute.
Apparently straight lines are boring!
While I do give my kindergartner a choice as to which pages to do, I insist that he does these cut and paste activities – most importantly, the one on the left. It’s so important to hear the difference between sounds in words. I wanted him to distinguish between words that have oo as in cookie and oo as in moon.

This was the first time he showed interest in the word search. I include a word search not because I think it has huge learning benefits, but because some kids (including my two oldest) really enjoy them.
I do not, not, NOT recommend giving this to a child who will take way too long, painstakingly searching for letters. That is not a learning exercise. That’s a form of torture – for both the child and the adult who’s waiting for him to finish!
That’s my little speech about word searches. Only for kids who like them, please!
My Five enjoyed his first attempt at one, although he chose not to finish it. Okay by me.
You’ll find a total of nine pages in the pack. Enjoy!

Hi,
I would like to use some of the free worksheets you have however, I would like to change the font is it possible to get an editable version?
Anna Geiger
No, I’m sorry, I don’t share editable files at this time.
angee
Is this really FREE? In some cases, when you have clicked there is a prompt that would let you purchase while it is said FREE
Anna Geiger
When I say “free,” I mean it – so please do send me links when you’re finding something that says “free” but leads you to a paid product. The green button with an arrow ALWAYS links to a free printable.
SALLY
THANK YOU God bless you.

When I click on the HERE in the green box with the red arrow pointing at it, I am taken to a URL that ends in pdf, which then fails to download. Where should I click on this page to go to the correct URL? I am using Chrome as my browser.
My daughter loves your sheets as extra reinforcement to her reading and math lessons; however, I’ve been running into this download problem a lot lately. Per your helpful hints page, I’ve saved the link to my computer, but I’d really prefer to have the document saved. I have a very limited internet data plan, and each revisit to print takes up as much data as a one time download. Thank you for your help! I know you’re not a computer expert, so any advice will be appreciated!!

Hi! When you choose “save link as” you are actually saving the file that’s attached to the link – not the link itself. You need to look where it’s being saved when you choose that option. It may show up down in the corner of your screen for you to click on (that’s what it does on my computer), but it is also saved in your computer.
When you click “save link as” note where it’s being saved, or choose a place that you can easily go back to – like your desktop. Then you can open that file to print without using your Internet. I recommend opening with the free Adobe Reader.
