Sight Word “four” Worksheet – Trace, Write and Find
“Four” is the number word for 4: four legs on a dog, four wheels on a car, four seasons in a year. It sounds like for, which can be confusing at first.
What’s on the “four” worksheet
Read and trace “four”, write it alone, circle it among for, fur, our, pour and foul, then trace “A dog has four legs.”
Prints on A4 or US Letter (choose “Fit to page”).
How to teach “four”
Hold up four fingers and write the digit 4 next to the word. Point out that four has a u that for does not have, and that the u is quiet. Count sets of four around the house: four chair legs, four corners on a book. Each time, say and touch the word.
Sentences with “four”
- A dog has four legs.
- I am four years old.
- Four ducks swim by.
- The car has four wheels.
Game: Four corners
Put a word card in each corner of the room: four, for, fun and from. Call out a sentence, such as “I have four socks”, and your child runs to the corner with the right word. Change the sentence each time so they really read the cards.
Practise next
Try “for” and “our” next: they share letters with four and are easy to mix up, so they are worth practising side by side.
Questions about “four”
How do I stop my child mixing up four and for?
Link four to the number: write a small 4 above it on flash cards at first, then remove it once they are confident.
