Sight Word “His” Worksheet – Read, Trace, Write, and Color Printable Activity

The sight word “his” helps children explain that something belongs to a boy or man. This free kindergarten worksheet combines word recognition, handwriting, spelling, and sentence practice so learners connect the printed word with its meaning.

Learning objective: The child will read and write “his,” use it before a belonging, and distinguish it from the similar words “him” and “is.”

How to Teach “his”

Place a hat, cup, and book beside a boy toy or picture. Point to each item and say “his hat,” “his cup,” and “his book.” Ask, “Whose book is it?” Encourage the child to answer with a complete sentence: “It is his book.”

Move to the worksheet after several oral examples. Read “his,” trace it, cover it, and write it from memory. The child should say the word while writing so meaning, sound, and letter order stay connected.

A Teaching Observation

Some children can copy “his” neatly but cannot answer “Whose?” Copying alone does not show mastery. A quick ownership game gives better evidence that the child understands the word and is not only reproducing its shape.

Common Mistakes

• Reading “his” as “him”: circle the final letters and compare their jobs in sentences.
• Leaving out the belonging: practice short pairs such as “his pencil” and “his shoes.”
• Guessing “is”: point to the opening h and sweep under the whole word.

Practice Sentences

• His shoes are wet.
• That is his lunch box.
• Ben found his pencil.
• His dog likes to run.
• I can see his name.

Quick Mastery Check

Show a picture of a boy with three belongings. The child demonstrates mastery by reading “his,” naming two belongings in complete sentences, and writing the word without a model.
