Core Vocabulary Worksheets: LIKE

Description

LIKE gives students a way to share their opinions and preferences, which is a big step past simple requests. These Core Vocabulary Worksheets LIKE pages give students hands-on practice with the word through tracing, coloring, matching, sorting, and cut and paste activities.

What’s Included in the Core Vocabulary Worksheets LIKE Set

• Printable worksheets: a classic way to practice reading and writing the word LIKE.
• Dry erase pages: laminate them or slide them into page protectors, and students can practice again and again.
• Cut and paste activities: students match, sort, and glue the word and symbol, which builds fine motor skills along with vocabulary.
• Sight word practice: LIKE is a high frequency word, so these pages double as reading practice.

Ways to Use the Core Vocabulary Worksheets LIKE

These pages are differentiated, so you can match the activity to the student. Some students will trace and color, some will cut and sort, and some will read and write the word on their own.

• Follow up your core word of the week lesson in small group
• Independent work or work tasks once students know the routine
• Morning work or early finisher practice
• Homework, so families can see and use the word at home

I always pair worksheet time with modeling. Keep a core board on the table and point to LIKE as students work. That way the paper practice and the communication practice happen together.

Teaching the Core Word LIKE Beyond the Worksheets

Worksheets build familiarity, but students learn to use LIKE when they see it modeled in real moments. A few places to model it every day:

• Choice time: model I LIKE as students pick a toy, song, or activity.
• Snack tasting: try something new and talk about what you LIKE and don’t LIKE.
• Morning meeting: share one thing you LIKE and give each student a turn.
• Read-alouds and music: ask who LIKES the book or song and model the answer.

Who the Core Vocabulary Worksheets LIKE Are For

These work for early learners and for older students who are still building core vocabulary. They’re a great fit for special education teachers, related service providers, and paraprofessionals supporting students who use AAC, and for students who need extra sight word practice.
