Are you looking for some fun and engaging kindergarten sight word worksheets to help your students master their high frequency words without resorting to flash cards? If so, you’re in luck!
I’ve gathered a bunch of printable worksheets that are both fun and challenging. Your students will love practicing these skills.
Sight words…teachers usually have a love-hate relationship with them. We know our students will be better readers once they master them. But finding different ways to teach them, to a very diverse group of learners, is usually quite a challenge.
We know how important sight words are, (like the Dolch words list, for example), but let’s remember why every emergent reader needs to master sight words and high frequency words:
· Sight words help students build reading comprehension skills
· Not all high-frequency words aren’t decodable. After they are phonetically taught, students need repeated practice to turn these high-frequency words into sight words.
· Instant recognition of sight words boosts confidence for young learners and spurs them on to learn even more words.
· Sight words account for 75% of the words that kindergarten students will encounter in children’s reading material
· Sight words are vital to achieving reading fluency
Kindergarteners learn sight words best when using engaging activities that require them to be ACTIVE participants! It’s essential for students to interact with the sight words in a variety of ways, with lots of repetition, in order to learn them. These easy-to-edit sight word practice activities are so helpful because they can be edited and used year-round, as they have various holidays and themes. For those students who are still working on letter fluency, you can choose letters to practice with instead of sight word lists.
For those kids who are already working on sight words, simply customize the list to have them work on their own words! Your students get twice the learning with this activity because they must choose the correct colors too! Letter fluency, color review, sight words: DONE and DONE!
Covering holidays throughout the school year, each of the activity pages in this editable sight words unit can be customized for any kindergarten words that your students are working on.
I love a good coloring worksheet, but when we’re able to give kids an action-packed printable worksheet, kids get the coloring fun, along with the essential learning! These worksheets help students learn both letters and sight words. They actually get super excited about their learning.
