March Color by Sight Word Worksheets

Happy March 1st, Friends! I have another set of monthly color by sight word worksheets for your young ones. Color by code worksheets have always been a favorite at our house, and I hope they are at yours as well!

In case you missed the past couple of months, I am publishing a packet of Color By Sight Word worksheets for each month of the year. March has a few fun themes, and you will find those in this worksheet packet.

Since sight words need much practice, this whole year will focus on those common words we see every day. I will be utilizing various grades from the Dolch Sight Word List.

✔️ Looking for more worksheets to use during March? Try the March Word Search Packet which has 10 different March themes – St. Patrick’s Day, Ides of March, Daylight Savings Time, and several more!

Also, it’s time to start thinking about All Things Spring! You can find those here: Spring Worksheets and Printable Activities

March Color By Sight Word Worksheets

March’s packet of color by sight word worksheets will focus on words found on the First and Second Grade Dolch sight word lists.

If you’re not familiar, there are several lists of common, everyday words. The two most popular lists are the Dolch Sight Word List and Fry’s Word List.

I will use various levels of the Dolch Word List (Pre-Primer through 3rd Grade) throughout the year as we practice these sight words!

As with any worksheet, I advise going over the directions carefully with your child to make sure he understands the task. Because sight words are quite challenging for many children, take the time to go over each word on the page.

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• If the sight word matches a particular spelling pattern, point out other words that also match that pattern.
  For example: brown has a ow sound /ow/. Write the word brown on a piece of paper, and then write the words down, gown, and clown.
  Now point out the word round, which also has the /ow/ sound, however it is spelled differently. Under round, write the words pound, hound, and sound. Have your child underline the ow or ou vowel team in each word and say /ow/ as he underlines.
• Point out any vowel teams in the sight words and review what a vowel team is.
• Review color words, as they are used on every page! Some of the color words are from the Dolch list, so those are certainly worth mentioning.
• Review beginning blends, especially those found in color words.
