Sight Word “blue” Worksheet – Trace, Write and Find
“Blue” is one of the colour words children want to read first, because it is all around them: the sky, the sea, a favourite crayon.
What’s on the “blue” worksheet
Read and trace “blue”, write it alone, circle it among glue, blow, true, blob and clue, then trace “The sky is blue.”
Prints on A4 or US Letter (choose “Fit to page”).
How to teach “blue”
The tricky part of blue is the silent e at the end and the ue spelling. Say “bl” together, then “oo”, and show that u and e team up to make that sound. Colour the word itself blue on the worksheet so the meaning sticks.
Sentences with “blue”
- The sky is blue.
- I have a blue cup.
- Look at the blue car.
- My best crayon is blue.
Game: Blue hunt
Set a one-minute timer and race around the room to find five blue things. For each one, your child holds the word card next to it and reads “blue”. On a walk, try the same game with cars or doors.
Practise next
Try “red” and “yellow” next: they are the other colour words on the pre-primer list.
Questions about “blue”
Why does blue end in e?
In blue, the letters u and e work together to make the “oo” sound. Children will meet the same pattern in glue, true and clue.
Should I teach blew and blue together?
Not yet. Let your child get confident with the colour word first. The homophone blew is better introduced later, when they read stories with wind in them.
