Learn the Sight Word 'Is' - Tracing and Writing Worksheet for Preschoolers
This worksheet helps children ages 4-5 build instant recognition of the sight word 'is' through a layered sequence of tracing, independent writing, sentence fill-in, coloring, and letter-order cut-and-paste practice. Because 'is' can't easily be sounded out using typical phonics rules, repeated multi-format exposure like this is exactly what helps a sight word move into a child's automatic reading vocabulary. Using the word inside real sentence blanks also connects the isolated word to meaningful, functional reading.

Move to the fill-in-the-blank sentences, reading each one aloud and having your child write 'is' in the blank where it belongs.
