Sight Words in the Classroom {FREEBIE and GIVEAWAY}

I am NOT a  fan of worksheets. I do not believe in “busy” work. I honestly do not even do the typical morning work. I keep my kids engaged with hands on activities in the morning. I do, however, recognize that kids DO need to practice writing  and cutting. Worksheets do help to teach those skills. I typically place one worksheet at my word work center each week. I’m not going to lie, my kids love worksheets. They often do the new worksheet the first day I place it at the center.

I used 55 words, including all of the pre-primer words, in this pack. You can click below to see a list of all of the words. I made on set in D’nealian and one set in Print.

This is another idea from the teacher next door. On Wednesdays, our short days, she has the kids where a sight word badge. Throughout the day, adults and students ask the child to tell them the name of their word. In the beginning, all of the students have the same word, but as the year goes on, I start to differentiate, based on student needs. I made this with my Cricut and I change the die cut every few weeks, based on the season.

This idea came from Orton Gillingham. They use red words, but my kids make rainbow words. I made little books with three blank lines on each page. You place a plastic screen under the page so that when kids write, it is bumpy and textured.

You can get the little book FREE HERE.

Students also practice sight words during Word Work. I have started putting together packets dedicated just to Word Work  and they include sight word practice. I will continue to create more activities for sight words.
