When it comes to learning to read, small words make a big difference, and “it” is one of the first sight words every new reader will master! These free printable “it” sight word worksheets make practice fun, hands-on, and engaging for early learners.
The word it pops up constantly in beginner books and sentences, which means the more familiar your child becomes with it, the smoother their reading will be. These pages combine fine motor tracing, reading comprehension, and playful creativity to make sight word learning simple and enjoyable.
As a mom of four (with one currently in 1st grade!), I wanted to make sight word practice easy for both teachers and parents, with no prep, all fun, and completely free printable worksheets that fit right into your reading routine.
This “It” sight word pack features a gentle horse and wind theme that ties perfectly to the tracing sentence:
“It is windy.”
A fun way for kids to connect words to meaning while improving handwriting and word recognition!

✏️ What’s Included in the “It” Sight Word Pack
Each worksheet in this pack helps children recognize, trace, write, and use the sight word it in a variety of fun ways, with just the right mix of learning and creativity.
1. Color by Sight Word
A fun twist on color-by-number! Instead of numbers, students color each section by matching the correct sight word. When finished, the word it is revealed.
A great mix of reading and coloring fun that encourages word recognition and focus.
2. Write & Draw Page
Kids write a simple sentence using the word it, such as “It is a cat.”, and then draw a matching picture.
This activity encourages sentence structure, creativity, and comprehension all at once.
3. Trace, Write, Read & Color Page (Horse Edition!)
This multi-skill worksheet brings the sight word it to life through a fun horse illustration.
The tracing sentence reads: “It is windy.”
Children trace the sight word, trace the sentence, and then trace and color the horse with its mane and tail blowing in the wind, a great visual cue to reinforce the word it and improve pencil control.
4. Sight Word Activity Page (Easier Version)
This fun all-in-one worksheet introduces multiple ways to interact with the word it:
- Color the sight word it
- Circle it from a mix of sight words
- Trace and write it
- Color the letters I and T in the alphabet section
- Fill in the missing it in a simple sentence
- Color the matching picture
A great fit for kindergarteners and early first graders just beginning to build fluency.
5. Sight Word Activity Page (Harder Version)
A slightly more challenging page for growing readers!
Students will:
- Color and trace the word it
- Dot or color all the it words hidden among others
- Write it independently
- Circle it written in different fonts
- Cut and paste a sentence using the correct word boxes
This version strengthens reading, writing, and fine motor skills all in one.
