How to use this worksheet
- Choose a topic and the number of sentences.
- Include a word bank for support, or turn it off for free recall.
- Students complete each gap. Use the separate answer key to check the accepted words.
Choose a word bank for supported practice
A word bank lets learners focus on choosing a word that fits the sentence meaning. Without the bank, the task asks for more independent recall. Read the sentences in the preview before choosing a version: the reading demand can be greater than the level of an individual vocabulary item.
Teach the context, then check the completed sentence
Review the topic words first. Ask learners to read the whole sentence before filling the gap, then compare answers with a partner and explain a useful clue. During correction, read the completed sentence aloud rather than checking only the missing word.
Download the worksheet and teacher answers
Select A4 or US Letter and a print style, generate the activity and check the preview. With Include answer key enabled, the PDF adds a separate page of completed sentences. You can edit each sentence and its missing answer. Generate again to rebuild the word bank and teacher answers, then check the preview before printing it for your group.
