“there” is one of the 52 primer Dolch sight words, usually learned in kindergarten. It has five letters (t-h-e-r-e), and on the primer read-and-color sheet it fills two of the 60 boxes, so children read it twice there. Other primer words that start with “t”: “that”, “they”, “this” and “too”. On this worksheet it is hidden twice in a small letter grid, all across.
