Four letters or words: which one is not the same?

Make same or different pages. Each row has four letters, three the same and one that looks nearly the same: b and d, p and q, m and n. Your child circles the odd one. A second list uses short words that differ by one letter or by their order, such as pin and pen or top and pot.
