Sight words are a fundamental element of reading instruction. As such, you need to devote time to these building blocks. After all, they account for nearly 75% of all vocabulary in elementary reading material.
One way to expose students to sight words is with a word wall. Such displays provide constant access to the foundational vocabulary and help to instill independence. To preserve your precious time, I offer a variety of word walls based on the Dolch list. You can find them here. From pandas to cowpokes, you are sure to find a theme you like.
Coloring printables are a popular means of providing practice for instant recognition of the high frequency words. The coloring sheets in my store focus on manageable chunks of the Dolch list. Here's a FREE version to try:
These products offer seasonal and thematic designs.
If you wish to really challenge your learners, try SIGHT WORD SQUARE PUZZLERS.
Each product is specific to a grade level list of the Dolch words. These challenging puzzles are differentiated and require very close attention to the words.
