Make sight word practice stick with HMH Into Reading First Grade Irregular Words Color by Code. Students read the target word, find it in the picture, and color the matching section to reveal a finished image. The routine pairs visual discrimination with word recognition, heart word mapping, and quick checks for the tricky part of each word. Pages are organized to align with Grade 1 pacing and work across Modules 1–9 so practice stays consistent all year.
Use for literacy centers, small groups, early finishers, morning tubs, intervention, and take-home review. The color-matching format boosts attention, motivation, and fine motor control while supporting Science of Reading routines that move learners from memorizing to true orthographic mapping. Print on cardstock, add crayons or markers, and store finished sets in folders or binders for easy progress monitoring.
