Sight word center ideas for kindergarten and first grade. These editable sight word centers can be used all year long. Select the exact sight words you want to focus on!
For students to become fluent readers, the knowledge of high-frequency or “sight” words is necessary. Sight words are considered irregular words because they do not typically follow sound-spelling relationships. Because of this, we explicitly teach sight words throughout kindergarten and first grade. In order to master these important words, we focus on various ways of practice. Incorporating sight word practice into your daily classroom centers is a great way for students to get continued exposure.
These sight word centers are editable so putting a focus on selected sight words for the week is simple! You can easily type in six words, which will populate throughout all of the center activities.
I also love the idea of easy differentiation within your classroom. After identifying the needs of your students, you can select words that fit each individual student or group.
In the center below, students roll a cube and write the sight words to get to the end of the game. They LOVE these cubes!

You can also use these activities in whole-group practice. Pick a few words that your class is learning and have fun playing bingo!
The sight word centers are available in monthly-themed units. These kindergarten students had fun practicing sight words during the week of St. Patrick’s Day.
