Alphabetical Order To The Third Letter Worksheet

The five learner pages increase the comparison depth needed for alphabetical order. Words within each set share their first two letters, so the third character determines the sequence unless a later difference is needed. Learners transfer each list onto numbered lines in the order they choose. The final page assembles the correct arrangements for the complete collection, supporting targeted correction of mistakes caused by stopping the comparison too early.
