Sight Words Practice — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The cat jumped over the tall fence and ran away.
The word "over" tells that the cat went above and across the fence from one side to the other — the usual way an animal passes a tall barrier.
2. She brought her new book home from the library.
"Brought" is the past tense of bring and means she already carried the book with her — which fits because the book is now at home.
3. We will make a snowman if it snows tomorrow.
The word "make" means to build or create something, and you build a snowman by rolling and stacking snow into a figure.
4. Please stand still while I tie your shoe.
"Stand" means to be upright on your feet, and you need to stay standing without moving so someone can tie a shoelace.
5. There is only one cookie left on the plate.
The word "only" means just that one and no more, so it emphasizes that a single cookie is all that remains.
6. He threw the ball as far as he could across the field.
"Threw" is the past tense of throw and means he tossed the ball through the air — the clue "could" shows the action already happened.
7. She got new shoes to wear on the first day of school.
"Got" is the past tense of get and means she received or bought the shoes already — so they are ready for school to start.
8. The children like to draw pictures in art class.
The word "draw" means to make a picture with a pencil, crayon, or marker — which is one of the main things kids do in art class.
9. We were happy when the sun came out after the rain.
"Were" is the past tense of are and goes with "we" — since "came" shows the past, the matching verb must also be past tense.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
laugh
→ to make a happy sound
not at any time
light
→ not heavy or not dark
to have something that belongs to you
never
→ not at any time
not heavy or not dark
own
→ to have something that belongs to you
to make a happy sound
"Laugh" is the sound you make when something is funny, "light" describes something easy to lift or full of brightness, "never" means zero times ever, and "own" means it is yours to keep.
