Sight Word Coloring Fun: 'am', 'has', 'had', and 'have' Worksheet
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 build automatic recognition of four common sight words — am, has, had, and have — words that appear so frequently in early reading that sounding them out every time would slow a beginning reader down. Coloring by a color key also reinforces visual discrimination, since children must distinguish between similar-looking short words rather than relying on pictures.

How to use this worksheet
Review the color key at the top of the page together, reading each sight word aloud and naming its assigned color. Go flower by flower, having your child read the word inside before choosing the matching crayon — am is pink, has is yellow, had is green, and have is red. Encourage your child to look carefully at each word's letters rather than guessing from the first letter alone, since 'has' and 'had' look quite similar.
