Sight Words {as you know} are a HUGE part of early reading! It is estimated that up to 75% of words that young children read are sight words! So, it’s ESSENTIAL that we make sure we do all we can to make sure kids can quickly recognize these words!
So the students become familiar with the words, we do lots of activities incorporating the words!
Top Secret Words
Top Secret Words are my favorite new way to get the kiddos practicing their sight words! More importantly, the students love Top Secret Words!
Simply grab a sight word list and allow your students to write the words using Secret Message Invisible Pens!
To make it even more fun, photocopy the Top Secret Words page onto Astrobrights! You can snag the printable FREEBIE here!
Word Wall on the Go!
Word Wall on the go allows your students to bring the word wall to their desk! Having a portable sight word wall can help your students learn even more new words!
I love that students can easily grab the words and take them back to their seat!
Lunchbox Sight Words
A super simple activity to prep are these Lunchbox Sight Words!
The kids pull out a sight word and use the magnetic letters to spell the word out.
Grab the sight word files HERE.
I just printed onto bright Astrobrights and used these thin magnets to make them stick inside the metal lunchbox from Oriental Trading! Make sure to poke around for a free shipping code on OTC!
The lowercase magnetic letters are from Amazon but you can snag a set at Walmart, Target or even the dollar store, if you get lucky!
