Sight Word worksheets

This site offers free printable sight word worksheets. Each worksheet contains helpful information on properly forming each letter as well as offers numerous opportunities to practice writing each sight word. We recommend each child saying the sight word aloud as he writes to help develop a sight word vocabulary.

Make the Sight Word Board Game

Creating the game board is easy – all you need is a poster board, pen and list of sight words. Using a poster board, create a path. The path can look like a snake or contain squares similar to Chutes and Ladders. Ideally each space should be approximately one-inch so you can write a sight word in it. Use pennies, dice or a spinner from another game to advance on the game board and cheerios (just don’t let your child eat them before the end of the game) or match box cars work perfect as game pawns.

Speedy Sight Words

Looks like a unit to help build fluency for the first 100 Sight Words.  I might get this to use over the summer!

This poster gives the kids options for practicing Sight Words:
1.  Write the word in a sentence
2.  Write the word with funky letters
3.  Write as a rainbow word...trace each letter with more than one color
4.  Write the consonants in blue and the vowels in orange
5.  Hide the words in a picture
6.  Write the letters with dots or stars on the edge of each letter
7.  Write the letters as a chain
8.  Use colors to make a spelling pattern
9.  Write as steps

Today we wrote our number for each correctly read sight words.  She got 33 correct.  Numbers and sight words.....math and reading!

To do this activity, students will read the sight words that are in the top boxes. They will then find the words in the text boxes below and rainbow trace them in the color shown. This is such a simple activity, but my students LOVE anything that has to do with crayons, markers, tracing/coloring, etc... I may even extend the activity and have the students then write the words out or write sentences using the given sight words (just on the back of their paper or in their writing to learn binders). The possibilities are endless, and this activity could easily be converted for spelling too! Download it here.

Mix It, Fix It, Write It

This is a worksheet with scrambles Sight Words.  The kids unscramble to word and then write it 2 times.  It is easy to make your own with a piece of blank paper.  Here is the link to download this one.
