“under” is one of the 52 primer Dolch sight words, usually learned in kindergarten. It has five letters (u-n-d-e-r), and on the primer read-and-color sheet it fills one of the 60 boxes, so children read it once there. It is the only primer word that starts with “u”. On this worksheet it is hidden twice in a small letter grid, all across.
