Once children start recognizing simple sight words like the and is, they’re ready for slightly longer ones, and “that” is the perfect next step!
These free printable “that” sight word worksheets help kids build confidence reading and writing this important high-frequency word. Each printable blends coloring, tracing, writing, and sentence practice into short, low-stress activities that make learning fun and memorable.
As a mom of four (with one currently in 1st grade!), I know how tricky the leap from small two-letter words to longer ones can be. My goal with these printables is to keep learning approachable and creative, so parents, teachers, and homeschoolers can teach sight words with ease and without extra prep time.
These “That” sight word worksheets are completely free to download, print, and share – perfect for classrooms, reading centers, or extra practice at home.

✏️ What’s Included in the “That” Sight Word Pack
Each printable page is designed to help kids recognize, trace, write, and use the sight word that in fun and engaging ways.
1. Color by Sight Word
Kids color each section by matching the correct sight word. When they finish, the word that is revealed!
It’s a playful, no-prep way to reinforce reading fluency and attention to detail.
2. Write & Draw Page
On this worksheet, children write a sentence using that (“I like that cat.”) and then draw a picture to match.
It’s a creative way to encourage sentence construction, comprehension, and personal expression.
3. Trace, Write, Read & Color Page
Kids trace the sight word that, then trace a short sentence using it, followed by tracing and coloring a matching picture.
This page combines handwriting practice, early reading, and fine-motor skills for a balanced literacy activity.
4. Sight Word Activity Page (Easier Version)
This fun, all-in-one worksheet combines multiple mini-activities in one sheet:
- Color the sight word that
- Circle that from a mix of sight words
- Trace and write that
- Color the letters T-H-A-T in an alphabet grid
- Fill in the missing that in a short sentence
- Color a picture that matches
It’s perfect for kindergarteners and early first graders still building reading fluency.
5. Sight Word Activity Page (Harder Version)
A little more challenge for growing readers!
Kids will:
- Color and trace the word that
- Dot or color all the that words hidden in sight word circles
- Write that independently
- Circle that written in different fonts
- Cut and paste the correct words to complete a sentence
This version is excellent for literacy centers or independent learning time.
