Sight Words and a FREEBIE!

Sight words, sight words, sight words! This is something that we all work so hard on with our students. I truly feel sight words is one of the best uses of time we spend helping children learn how to read. I recently learned that sight words account for 75% of the words used in beginning children's printed material!
The benefits of teaching sight words and students learning sight words are amazing.
- Promotes confidence
- Helps promote reading comprehension.
- Allow students to take on the more challenging words.
- Provides clues to the meaning of the text.
- Enhances ESL instruction
- Build upon each other and a foundation for reading more complex words.

We go over our sight words so much that I swear I dream about sight words some nights! I hope my students do too!
There are so many different ways to go about teaching sight words. The ideas are endless!

I am always trying new ways to get those sight words to stick!! I wanted to do some activities with my students that included different hands-on, interactive, and engaging skills to not only get those sight words to stick, but also to have fun while learning them! 

I recently created 3 different sight word activities. Each of the activities require absolutely NO PREP! Just print and go!!

Here are the activities:
1. Sight Word Practice Pages
                

   

   
Each page focuses on the following activities:
• Spell the Sight Word- color the star each time it is spelled correctly.
• Trace and Write the Sight Word- great handwriting practice
• Rainbow Write the Sight Word- great handwriting practice 
• Find and Color– color the correct spelling of the sight word
• Fill the Missing Letter(s)- determine and write the missing letter to make the sight word complete.
• Build the Sight Word- cut and glue the mixed letters to spell the sight word correctly.
• Read the Sight Word- color the star each time it is read correctly

2. Sight Word Puzzles
                

   

   

Each page focuses on the following activities:
• Trace and Write the Sight Word- great handwriting practice
• Build the Sight Word Puzzle– cut and glue the mixed letters to spell the sight word correctly. A mystery picture will form! Students will use this picture to help them read the sentence.
• Fill the Missing Sight Word- Write the missing sight word in the sentence to make the sentence complete.
• Read the Sentence- color the star each time the sentence is read correctly.

3. Sight Word Hats
      




Each sight word hat focuses on the following activities:
• Rainbow Write or Color the Sight Word- great handwriting practice 
• Trace the Sight Word- practice spelling and handwriting practice
• Build the Sight Word– cut and glue the mixed letters on to the hat to spell the sight word correctly. 

There are 3 sets for each of the activities above. The sight words included in these activities are from the Dolce and Fry's lists.
Set 1 includes 57 sight words. 
Set 2 includes 56 sight words. 
Set 3 includes 57 sight words.
  


You can grab them individually or you can grab them in one of the following bundles below.

Hi everyone! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has come to check out my blog and to all my followers. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it and for all of your support! You have all taught me so much and I hope I have been able to give you ideas and materials for your classroom :) As many of you know, I absolutely LOVE doing themes in my classroom! I have been asked to share my year long plan that I do for my thematic units and I am so excited to finally have it all ready for you to see! I know some people have mixed feelings regarding themes because they feel they do not always meet the standards, but I do have to disagree. I can't say enough wonderful things about doing themes! During my weekly or biweekly themes, I hit more common core standards than I can count! There are a ton of benefits that themes provide for my students that truly gives them so much growth and success! Some of the biggest benefits I feel thematic units do in the classroom are: - Gives a ...

I can't believe this week marked the end of the first quarter!! It has gone by so fast! This week was a 4 day week with my students and we had our inservice/report cards on Friday. We ended the first quarter with part 2 of my Scarecrow Unit ! What a fun and busy week we had! We had a blast continuing our Scarecrow Unit with lots more math and literacy activities. Here is a look at our week. There are FREEBIES in here for you all as well! :)  Thank you for checking out my blog! Monday This week was all about the number 7. We practiced tracing, writing, and finding the number 7. Then we rainbow wrote the number 7 and filled the other one in with crows :) We had lots of fun being crows, but got a little mixed up. Luckily, our friends in class were there to help us get back to the correct order!  I love hearing my students interact with each other, work together, and be problem solvers! We unscrambled numbered crows and placed them in the correct order on a fence. We also wrote a...
