Today we have some fun and free sight word worksheets for children to color. These free printable sight word coloring pages have eight focus words, which are some of the most common words for young readers to work on.
Children color each part of the coloring picture by number, to reveal each focus word in bright and bold colors. The finished pictures can be displayed in your literacy centers to help build familiarity with these words.
List of Sight Words Included in these Coloring Pages
The words included in this free printable sight word coloring pack are some of the first sight words (also known as “tricky words” in the UK) that kids are typically asked to learn.
My daughter is 5 years old in Reception class, and these are the first words that were on her list to learn. Each of these words is a high-frequency word, and also can be hard to “sound out” for early readers using phonics skills alone so when kids are familiar with these words and can read them quickly and fluently, it really helps to strength their overall reading and build up confidence.
