How to make your worksheet

  1. Choose the kind of page: cards, tracing, word search, write the room, or a math page to count or add the pictures.
  2. Keep the superhero words, pick another season, or type your own words.
  3. Choose color or black and white, and a design.
  4. Print. Read the words together first, then let your child work.

The reading skill

These pages help your child learn new words by sight. Your child sees each superhero word beside its picture, reads it with you, traces it, finds it in a puzzle and writes it.

The superhero words

Superhero, hero, cape, mask, shield, badge, star, lightning, boot, belt. Many of these cannot be sounded out by a beginner yet, so each sheet says that a grown-up reads the words first.

Four kinds of page

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 superhero week.

A superhero week at home

Make it a superhero week: a towel cape, then one sheet a day as the hero's mission. Read the cape, mask and shield cards, trace the words, and finish with the word search as the last mission. Your child's super power this week is reading new words.

Real heroes too

Talk about everyday heroes: a friend who shares, a sister who helps, a parent who cooks dinner. Your child can draw a superhero version of someone they know, with a cape and a shield, and label it with words from the cards.

Hero words to read

Cape, mask, star and belt are short words a beginning reader can sound out. Superhero and lightning are longer: read those together, clap the parts, and point to the picture.

Why is there a boy and a girl?

So every child can see themselves as the hero. The boy card says superhero and the girl card says hero.

Good questions

Are these characters from films or comics?

No. They are our own crayon superheroes, a boy and a girl, with a cape, a mask and a shield. No brand characters are used.

Can my child read these words alone?

Some of them, such as the short ones. Most are words to learn with the picture, so read them together first.

Can I use my own words?

Yes. Choose “Type your own words” at the top of the word list. A word we have a picture for gets its picture.

Which way do the words go in the word search?

Across and down only, never backward or on a slant. Words of two parts, such as candy cane, are left out of the puzzle.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up and no limit.
