Sight words are an essential component to reading instruction in all elementary classrooms. Sometimes sight words can feel overwhelming, and to be honest, not the most fun thing to teach. But I’ve got some sight words activities for you to add to your teacher tool-belt to make teaching sight words a breeze!
Sight Word Color
These sight words activities are great for practicing distinguishing between tricky looking sight words. There are 33 different combinations of commonly confused sight words your students can practice. These are great for centers, small groups, intervention, as homework, independent work, morning work, or even for a guest teacher!
Slap-a-Sight-Word
This slap a sight word poster is always a hit. It’s at the door so we slap and say the words when we exit. I switch the words out once we’ve mastered them. I usually put the commonly confused or more difficult ones on the slap sign. The kids think it’s hilarious and I think it’s brilliant they’re working on reading sight words every time they read and slap. This can be used in any grade level and you can even change out the words to content area words and vocabulary too!
