Using a small object toy, snack, block, etc. Grab some small Dixie cups and write the sight words you want to practice on the outside. The printable mats are literally Print and Done. Both formats are great for small group centers because they are no prep. The digital set even takes it a step further and has students match the word to the image, working on phonics skills as well. Our Sight Word Sentence Mats come in both printable and digital format. Same concept, without the concern of a paint mess. If you would rather skip the paint altogether, you can put sand, sugar, or salt in a tray and students can use the same tools to write sight words in as well. This is a fun activity for those who want to finger paint, but not get messy. They will write their sight word on the bag and watch it appear in the paint. 😉) Then give your students a Q-tip, eraser end of a pencil or their finger. (I prefer to use packing tape to seal the top. LOL Fill a ziplock back with paint, leaving a little bit of air, and make sure to tape the top after sealing. This activity isn’t as messy as it sounds. My students love “Fishin’ For Sight Words”. These are hands-on activities/games that engage students in sight word identification. We have a variety of Sight Word Centers that can be used during your literacy block to help students practice sight words. For the more adventurous teachers, you can also have them watercolor paint over the words to make them “appear”. The sight words are going to “magically” appear on the page. Once they’ve written all of the words you want them to practice, they are going to color over the sections with markers.

They will need to write a sight word in each section with a white crayon. Give each kiddo a white piece of paper and ask them to fold it into a specified number of sections, usually 6, 8, or 10. There are many possibilities and it also happens to be NO PREP for you! 😉 Some teachers are having students cut the cards apart and keep them in an envelope to bring out during independent work time. Each page has 4 different activities on it, so you can print front to back, or do 4 for a couple of days and the other 4 later in the week. They are able to work on fine motor strength, letter formation and recognition, and sight word identification and spelling. These Sight Word Menus allow students to practice a word in 8 different ways. In the end, they didn’t realize we were working on sight words. And the best part is that they are learning and having fun at the same time. I love to see the neat structures they think of. Once they’ve earned a few sticks, they can start using Play-doh or clay to create a building.

If they read the word correctly, they get to keep the stick for construction, if not, correct them and it goes back into the “building” pile. Then your child/students will grab a stick and say the word aloud. Also grab some modeling clay or a small container of Play-doh. I like to write the same word on 2-3 sticks. Grab some popsicle/craft sticks and write sight words on them. My son, the builder, absolutely LOVES this sight word practice activity. We also have this sight word activity in digital format. Or, if you want to reuse each page, the words can be covered with colored counting chips.

Students have so much fun “dabbing” their sight words with bingo daubers.
#Sight word activities full
See how full you can make the monster’s belly. As the student/child reads the sight word, they get to “feed ” it to the monster. Then write the sight words they need to practice on small pieces of paper. The students can be as imaginative as they wish, using pipe cleaners, google eyes, etc to create their monster. With your child/students, create a monster out of construction paper and an empty tissue box. Students can practice each word through 7 different activities. This resource includes no prep printables for the first 300 words on the Fry’s Word List. ❤️Įducation to the Core has been busily creating NO PREP Sight Word Activities that you can use in your classroom IMMEDIATELY! We have resources with sight word practice in isolation, as well as sight words embedded within fluency practice.Īnd as an added bonus… we have also included some really fun sight word activities that don’t require worksheets. I like to use a mix of paper pencil and hands-on activities to practice sight words. And as added practice, I send those same sight words home to practice as well. Certain sight words are taught in small groups to help students better read their leveled readers. I use sight words in my vocabulary and word work centers. I am constantly looking for Sight Words Activities to use in my small groups, independent centers, and as homework.
