Letter Disks

Today I'll show you some letter disks that I have made. We can use these is a variety of ways to practice spelling our sight words. The idea and printable are from here

1. Purchase a few bags of Disc/Circles 1 1/2 in from a craft store.

2. Print out the lower case and upper case letters from Confessions of a Homeschooler. I made one set of capital letters and 3 sets of lower case letters.

3. Using a circle punch and some Mod Podge, create your discs; here are the complete directions are
4. Use the discs for spelling your sight words!

Rainbow Sight Words

I can't wait to try this activity with my girls!

1. Create a list of focus sight words.

2. Setting out the list with a box of blank index cards, invite your students to start at the top, scripting the sight word onto a card and quietly identifying each letter as they write.

3. For extra practice and exposure, have your kinders choose three or four different colored markers {or other graphic art tools} with which to re-trace the word, once again, quietly whispering each letter as they go. When complete, have them cross the word off the list and move to the next entry.

Scrambled Eggs

This idea comes from This and That and is called Scrambled Eggs

I put together a sight word activity for the girls to do called scrambled eggs! I put alphabet letters in plastic eggs and had the girls crack open the eggs into a bowl and spell the sight word. Then they wrote the sight word on the worksheet I made to go along with this activity.

Sight Word Caterpillar

This is my kitchen cabinet. We have our sight word caterpillar in a very visible spot.....makes for lots of quick practice

Stamping Words

Today we used some alphabet stamps to stamp out our sight words.

I wrote out the word, made blanks, and let the girls stamp the words. We repeated the letters in each sight word over and over and over.....lots of repetition in this sight word activity.

Read Alouds

When reading aloud to your child, allow your child to look at the book with you. Use your finger to slide along the words as you read. This will help your child to hear and see the words at the same time. When you get to a sight word your child is learning, pause while pointing to the word. Ask your child to read the word! This lets your child see that the sight words they are memorizing are used all the time. Plus it gives a little extra sight word practice while reading aloud.
