Are Fry Word Tracing Worksheet
"Are" is short enough to trace without a child's hand tiring partway through, which makes it a reasonably forgiving word to build early handwriting confidence around.
Because "are" belongs to Fry's ranked list rather than a themed vocabulary set, it won't obviously connect to a specific topic like animals or colors — its value is purely how often it shows up, not what it means.
If "are" isn't quite the version you're looking for, the interactive sight word editor linked on this page lets you type any word and generate a matching worksheet on the spot.
