Make tricky word practice fun and engaging with this set of colour-by-tricky-word worksheets designed for early readers working through the first stages of phonics. This resource includes five creative colouring pages that combine word recognition with art, helping children build confidence in reading high-frequency and common exception words in a hands-on way.
Each colouring sheet focuses on a selection of tricky words drawn from the foundational phases of phonics, giving learners repeated exposure as they colour sections of the picture based on the words they read. This makes word practice both purposeful and playful, perfect for literacy time, guided reading, early finishers, homework or independent activities.
The activity requires only basic prep — just print the sheets and give pupils colouring materials — so it’s ideal for busy classrooms. Children can practise reading tricky words while colouring their way through the pages, reinforcing word recognition and reading fluency through enjoyment and creativity.
A versatile and low-prep resource to help young learners master tricky words with confidence.
