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

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.

Coloring

This week we have had fun practicing sight words by coloring them: I wrote ten different sight words in black marker on a piece of paper. Have your child picks out ten different color crayons.

I call out a color and a sight word for her to "color" (trace). For example: "Color they green" and she has to look at all of the words on the page and find the word they and trace it with the green crayon. Fun for her, easy for me
