Action Verbs Worksheet: Fill in the Blanks!

How to use this worksheet

Read the first sentence aloud together, pausing at the blank space. Look at the word box together and have your child read each option out loud. Ask them which word makes the sentence make sense, and once they've chosen, have them write that verb into the blank space, sounding out the letters as they go. Move to the next sentence and repeat, checking each completed sentence makes sense when read back.
