Free printable sight word coloring

Sight Word Coloring turns a high-frequency word into a find-and-color hunt. This Pre-K sheet puts the target word a in a card at the top, then fills a 5-by-4 grid of rounded boxes with a mix of early sight words such as it, see, can, one, go, and like. The child scans each box and colors only the ones that say a. Early readers, preschool classrooms, and parents who want a short literacy-plus-crayon task use pages like this.

  3. Color every box whose word matches the target; leave the other boxes blank.
  4. Check the solution page if you want to confirm which six boxes should be colored.

Print at 100% scale on letter or A4 paper so the 5-by-4 boxes stay large enough to color neatly.
