Sight Word Passages

Sight words can be very tricky to learn and remember.  I always spend a lot of time reviewing, reviewing, reviewing them as we learn them. 

I am always thinking of fun ways to practice the sight words we learn.  We sing about them, chant the letters in them, and read books with them in it. 

I have created a fun way to practice these words that is perfect for ALL levels of readers. 
You can put these in your literacy centers, use them during guided reading, or use it during writing.
Each passage uses short sentences that focus on a sight word. 

Your kiddos will read the passage, circle the sight word, read the sight word, then write the sight word.
The best part of these passages is that the kiddos that aren't quite reading yet can still search through the passage to find the sight word.

Finding sight words while you read is a great reading skill and will help those little ones become better readers too!

Instead of using a pencil or marker, you can use a highlighter.  Have you ever given a kindergartner a highlighter?  It's like Christmas morning ;)

Word Work: CVC Actvities

I am a obsessed with Daily 5 and do it EVERY day!  We only have time for 4 centers a day, but if my kiddos or I had a choice we would do 5! :)  If you are not familiar with Daily 5, it is the easiest and best thing you can do during guided reading.  There is minimal prepping and a great classroom management piece while you meet with your kiddos.
One center that needs a little prepping is Word Work.  I want engaging centers, but ones that can be done independently by most.  I tried adding their spelling words in there and that was "boring" after awhile, so I created my first Word Work pack!  Jammed pack with centers that can be used during Daily 5 or any literacy centers you might have!

**Keep reading for a chance to WIN this pack!**

There are so many different activities in this pack, your kiddos will definitely strengthen those short vowel sounds!  Here are two of the centers in this pack!  CVC puzzles!

 These cards come in 3 different levels!  One set is just the picture, one has the full word, and one has a missing vowel.  Your kiddos will write each word in the correct vowel box.

Marvelous Monday!

Today starts our short 2 day week!  Can't wait to have a few days off with family and friends in WI!  

We were extra busy in room 32 today!  I saw the cutest worksheet in my copy room at school about sorting words and letters, but did not copy it because I have felt lately my kids are on worksheet overload!  So I did the next best thing, I created the worksheet in real life and had my kinders sort words and letters on our white board!  This worked out fabulous because they could see the differences in them both and we could discuss what makes a word a word!  Of course we have those tricky letters that are words AND a letter but my kiddos picked up the concept fast!

I was in WI this past weekend for my friend's bridal shower, so of course I found myself at Hobby Lobby!  This store is amazing and I got the cutest little letter charms for my Word Work center!  My kiddos LOVE LOVE Daily 5 (like scream and cheer every time I announce we are doing Daily 5, kind of love) and I am always looking to add more activities for them!  I paired this activity with one of my activities from my Let it Snow! pack.  I took the sight word match game cards and added it with the letter charms and we had a fabulous Word Work center!  The students picked a card and made that word on the pipe cleaner! :)

Here is where you can find the word cards!
