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.

How to use this worksheet

Start by having your child trace the dotted word 'is' with a pencil, following the correct left-to-right letter order. Next, have them try writing the word 'is' independently on the practice lines provided. Move to the fill-in-the-blank sentences, reading each one aloud and having your child write 'is' in the blank where it belongs. Finish by having your child color the circles containing the word 'is' and, if included, cut and paste the letters i-s in the correct order to spell the word one more time.
