“show” is one of the 41 third grade Dolch sight words, usually learned in third grade (Year 3–4). It has four letters (s-h-o-w), and on the third grade read-and-color sheet it fills one of the 60 boxes, so children read it once there. Other third grade words that start with “s”: “seven”, “shall”, “six”, “small” and “start”. On this worksheet it is hidden three times in a small letter grid, all across.
