About this worksheet
Suits Years 1 to 4Type your words and the sheet asks students to write them in order, alphabetical, or a custom order you define.
Alphabetical ordering is the doorway to every dictionary, index and library shelf, and it has a hidden depth: when first letters tie, the decision moves to the second letter, then the third.

- Type your words, one per line.
- Choose alphabetical order or your own custom order.
- Press Generate. Students write the words in the correct order.
The maker lays your own words and passages out as a clean sheet, ready to print on A4.
Common questions
How do I make ABC order genuinely challenging?
Load the list with shared first letters: ship, shape, shore, shine forces the sort to the second and third letters, which is where dictionary skill actually lives. All-different first letters is the warm-up version.
What is custom order for?
Any sequence that is not alphabetical: days of the week, months, size order, story events, counting words. You define the correct order; the sheet scrambles it for the student to restore.
