Sight words color by number

Free sight words color by number worksheets. Every shape holds a sight word like the, and, see or play, and the color key shows which color goes with each word. Kids read the word, find it in the key, and color, until a picture appears.

The words come from the first Dolch lists, the most common words in early reading, so the worksheets suit preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade. Pictures with fewer colors use fewer words, which makes a gentle start.

Open a picture, then print it or save it as a PDF; each worksheet has a name line and a color key. For number practice, try the math color by number worksheets.
