There are multiple ways to play of course!Īfter the kiddos play “Shake the Cup,” it’s time for sight word builder! Again, with sight words it’s all about repetition and memorization! With sight word builder, the kiddos will help you to build the word with letter posters!Īfter the instruction it will be time for the kiddos to apply their knowledge independently! Each sight word has its own practice sheet.Įvery sight word also has a fun hands-on craft! Now, no worries… I won’t have you prepping for hours each word! The crafts are fun but aren’t so extensive with a bunch of prep.Īlso included in the curriculum are paper easy readers for the kiddos! You have the option to pint color or black/white/ Remember too that you have the choice between the easy or advanced readers! The books are great for leveled readers to be placed into their independent read box and because they are printable books, you can send them home with the kiddos to read as well. You will want to include several of your sight word spelled correctly, some with a misspelling of the sight word and even some review sight words! You will shake the cup, have a student pull out a word and then the student will announce the spelling of the word and let the class know if it’s correct. There is an editable sheet within the curriculum that allows you to type your cup words. You will want to start by reading the interactive reader again, this time having the kiddos help you search for the sight words! After the sight word hunt it’s time for Shake the Cup! This is a fun game to help the kiddos see that word over and over! You can place this whole-group or have the kiddos play with a pair. You can see the interactive readers below! I will also share those again in the independent practice section below.Ĭheck out the interactive readers! If you have a smartboard/interactive whiteboard you can project them for the class!Īfter the initial introduction of the sight word you will move onto applying that knowledge. I purchased the lanyards from Staples! Also, part of the introduction skill…you will be sharing the sight word interactive reader with the kiddos. A few years ago I started wearing my sight words a few days of the week and it made a huge impact! The sight word “necklace” cards are located with in the packet. In the lesson plans you’ll teach to that skill.Īlso included in that section you will mention your sight word necklace! Sight words happen to be one of those skills that is based on MEMORIZATION. That simply means that they don’t follow the common rules k-1 kiddos know. It is no secret that generally sight words are “trick” words. In the skill introduction you will be introduced that sight word to the kiddos! I like to use this time to teach the kiddos about the word itself. The lesson plans are broken down into four sections: skill introduction, applying the skill, independent practice, and assessment with data tracking. Once you have your sight words printed, then place them in your sight word order and place them into a binder or bind! Okay, enough about the words covered…let’s get into the curriculum! Below you can see an example of the sight words scripted lesson plans! With the sight word list, you are able to teach the words in any order you see fit! All of the curriculum is stand-alone so the lessons won’t build on one another! The best way would be to select the pages you want (I’ll share a quick print tip for that later) and just print those. It seemed like I was getting a mixture of Dolch Pre-Primer, Dolch Primer, Fry’s top 100, and Zeno top 50! So, that’s what I included! Below I will list the entire list and an easy to print list can be found ** HERE ** I asked in my Facebook group what list of words were used the most. I knew what you were asking for… a comprehensive curriculum like my other curriculum programs! I sat on it for a while because there was one HUGE road block I was facing, sight words are SO vastly different between districts, schools, and even teams of teachers! So, I knew I needed to have a program that could be flexible and allow the teachers the freedom to teach their list of words and at the order they needed! I think it’s important that I do my part to explain my programs, what’s included in them, and best yet….how to best use what is included! I was approached by several of YOU for a sight word curriculum program. I enjoy taking the time to write these posts. Well hello there and welcome to another post! This post is all about my new program, PrimarySightWords and a FREE sight word is also included.
