Say It, Write It, Find It Sight Words

I have been trying to devise ways for my Kinder class to get right into sight words this term. I am going to trial Literacy Work Stations (you can read one of my ideas HERE) and thought that this little activity might be an easy independent activity the kids can complete with little assistance.

Enter

I had Miss M (5) try a couple of them out for me.
There are 22 different words to practice, all blacklines so it is easy to reproduce as many times as you need, send it for homework, for fast finishers, for literacy centres.....
Firstly, she read the word and the sentence. I have tried to use very easy to read words (sight words and cvc's) but in the event that there are some longer or more difficult words, they are supported by the graphic (AGAIN you can see how much I love Graphics from the Pond)
After reading the sentence, trace it.
Then write it on the lines! 
Then it is time to focus on the sight word (and yes, her sentence says The rainbow is is big. She wasnt happy with the squished 'is' and decided to write it again lol).
Now the picture gets some colour :)
And finally, find the words - there are 3 hidden in each grid, both horizontal and vertical.

This pack is similar to my Say It, Write It, Find It Letter Identification Pack.

If you would like to get one of these from me, leave a comment with your email and say how you could use it in the classroom.

  1. I have a little one who has a few difficulties in my second grade class who would benefit so much from a packet like this, Brooke! He loves short, simple and easy engaging activities. This would be perfect! Great job! PS LOVE Graphics From the Pond!!!

  2. I teach full day kindergarten to 26 four and five year olds. We do literacy centres every week and it's amazing what little sponges they are. This would be a great addition to my centres as it would encourage sentence reading. My email is freemansweazey@rogers.com. Thanks so much!

  3. Love it, Brooke. This would be a perfect activity for my Literacy rotations (when I'm doing Guided Reading), especially for the little girl with autism in my class - we've got a heavy focus on recognising high frequency words, using them in sentences, etc. Also wouldn't hurt my preps! ;)

    Love your work. <3

  5. I would love to use these in my centers to provide reinforcement and practice with sight words. The children would be able to practice sight words independently with these sheets. Excellent resource!!!!!! :)

  6. This is amazing!! I will be moving to 1st grade next year and I find this to be a beneficial practice/study sheet to complete during literacy rotations during guided reading. What a great way to incorporate all the essential skills when transferring high frequency words from just knowing from sight!! Great job!!

    PS - My kids LOVED playing your roll and cover games in numeracy rotations this week. I just need to get my hands on some 10 sided dice for the last activities!

    1. These are AWESOME! My Kinders would benefit from the extra pratice with those tricky sight words! I was thinking I could laminate them and use them in a center where kids could do them again and again! :)

  10. Just as many of my kindergarten students learn sight words fast, others need extra practice. This would provide some extra practice to those who need it.

  20. These would be a great addition to the literacy centers in my K classroom! I like how the sight word is reinforced, as well as, having the students write a sentence. Thanks so much for sharing :)

  23. I am teaching kindergarten in the Migrant Summer School Program this summer. I am a 3rd grade teacher during the regular school year. I would love to use these activities in my sight word center.

  24. Our district is moving toward the Daily 5 model of teaching next year, and I am trying to gain more resources to use. My second grade team members and I are also planning on flexing during our language arts time, in which I will have the lower students. These would really help in my classroom to use with these students!
