Letter N Word Scramble Worksheet

Here's a practical word scramble I use with my kindergarten and first grade students when we're learning the letter N. This 2-page printable has 12 simple N words that young learners can unscramble - basic words like "nest", "net", and "nut" along with a few slightly harder ones like "nurse" and "north" for differentiation.

I made the font big and clear so emerging readers can easily see the letters. Each scrambled word has its number of letters shown (like "_ " for "net") to give students a helpful clue. My kindergartners love using magnetic letters to build the words before writing them down.

You'll find this works well for:

• Letter N week activities

• Literacy centers

• Morning work packets

• Tutoring sessions

• Homework reinforcement

Page 1 has the student worksheet with all 12 scrambled N words. Page 2 is a clean answer key - I keep a few copies laminated at my small group table for quick checking. The words are all nouns starting with N that kids actually know - no obscure vocabulary here.

Some ways I've used this:

• As a warm-up before our "N" sound hunt

• Paired with a nature walk (for "nest" and "nut")

• With picture cards for matching after unscrambling

Word examples:

• nse (sen) → sun

• pna (nap)

• rohn (horn)

Format: PDF with 2 pages (activity + answers)

Teacher tip: Have students highlight or circle the letter N in each word they unscramble!
