Learning sight words is such an important skill in the early years, integral to learning to read. In Australia we are asking the children earlier and earlier to start recognising sight words. In my last school, we required children entering Year 1 to know about 70 words. Many children do achieve this goal but, of course, there are those little chickens who struggle to remember 10, let alone 70!
I have developed some packages for beginning readers learning their sight words. They are designed to teach, consolidate or review groups of Dolch words, depending on the needs of the children. They are perfect for differentiation. The packages are composed of a mixture of worksheets, games and flashcards. Many of the materials can be used in Literacy Centers (Centres - for us Australians!) or for individual work and there are some whole class games also. I have included a small and large set of flashcards. These can be used for any number of different games and I have included a page of suggestions. You could also use the large flashcards for your word wall.
