The right word among look-alike words, a printable worksheet
A picture, and next to it two to four words that look almost the same. They are not made-up traps: they are real words of the lexicon, one or two letters apart. To find the right one, the child must read each word to the end.

Frequently asked questions
Where do the look-alike words come from?
From the Lexikit lexicon: illustrated words only one or two letters apart. The plural or feminine form of the word is never one of them. When a word has too few neighbours, other words of your list fill in, and the preview says so.
