Color by Word Level 5 sample page

Your child reads the same words dozens of times, because they want to see the picture.

A mystery picture only works if the words are read correctly, so the picture checks the reading. Every word can be sounded out with the letter sounds your child has already been taught.

Who it is for

Kindergarten and 1st grade children who know the sounds s a t p i n m d g o c k ck e u r h b f ff l ll ss and are starting to blend them into words, usually ages 5 to 7. Good for home, homeschool, literacy centers and small groups.

Good questions

Is there an answer key?

Yes. It shows all ten finished pictures.

Does the black-and-white edition still work?

Yes. The key names every color in words, so the pages work the same when printed without color.

Which sounds does my child need to know?

The sounds s a t p i n m d g o c k ck e u r h b f ff l ll ss. This is Level 5 of the Sound It Out Reading Path.

What exactly do I download?

The same 14 pages as PDF files in full color and in ink-saving black and white, each sized for US Letter paper and for A4. Print whichever suits you.

How do I get it?

The button takes you to a secure checkout run by Polar. As soon as you pay you can download the files, and a link is emailed to you as well.

Can I use it with my class?
