Spooky Vocabulary Worksheet: Fill in the Missing Letters!
This worksheet has children ages 4-6 look at a Halloween picture and fill in the missing letters of its matching word, building phonics skills and reinforcing correct spelling patterns for seasonal vocabulary. Because only some letters are missing rather than the whole word, children practice using partial information and sound-based reasoning to complete each word correctly.
