Pirate words to read, trace, find and write
Make pirate worksheets for a child who is learning to read. Pick picture and word cards, a read, trace and write page, a word search, or a write the room set with a recording sheet. The 12 pirate words each come with one of our own crayon pictures. You can also type your own words.
Your worksheet:
These pages help your child learn new words by sight. Your child sees each pirate word beside its picture, reads it with you, traces it, finds it in a puzzle and writes it.
Pirate, parrot, treasure chest, ship, map, anchor, hook, flag, coin, sail, shovel, wave. Many of these cannot be sounded out by a beginner yet, so each sheet says that a grown-up reads the words first.
Cards to cut apart for matching and sorting. A page to read, trace and write four words at a time. A word search with words across and down only. A write the room set: hang the numbered cards around the room, and your child finds each one and writes its word. They fit a pirate week or a pirate party.
Hide the write the room cards like treasure and give your child a map of the house. Each card found is a word to read and write on the recording sheet. Count the coins on the math page, and keep the treasure chest card for last.
Draw a simple map of one room with an X on it, and hide the treasure chest card there. Your child reads the clue words on the way: ship, anchor, flag, sail. Finding the chest ends the hunt, and counting the coins is the reward.
