Welcome to a fun adventure with words! Today, we’re going to learn some special words called “sight words.” These are words we see and use a lot when we read and write. Let’s meet them together!
The word “out” is used when something is not inside. Imagine a dog playing outside in the yard. The dog is “out” having fun!
“Could” is a word we use when we talk about something that might happen. Like, “I could play with my toys after dinner.”
“Then” helps us tell what happens next. For example, “I will eat my lunch, then I will play.”
“Little” means something is small. Like a little kitten or a little toy car.
“Down” is the opposite of up. When you slide down a slide, you are going “down.”
“Do” is a word we use when we are talking about actions. Like, “I do my homework every day.”
“Were” is a word we use to talk about things that happened in the past. Like, “We were at the park yesterday.”
“Use” is when we do something with an object. For example, “I use a pencil to draw.”
“Your” is a word we use when something belongs to someone. Like, “Is this your book?”
“Not” is a word that means no. For example, “I am not tired.”
“Am” is a word we use to talk about ourselves. Like, “I am happy.”
“What” is a question word. We use it to ask about things. Like, “What is your favorite color?”
“Came” is a word we use to talk about someone arriving. Like, “My friend came to my house to play.”
“Can” is a word we use when we talk about being able to do something. Like, “I can ride my bike.”
“When” is a word we use to ask about time. Like, “When is your birthday?”
Let’s read a little story using our new words:
“I came down to see what you were up to. I could see that your little dog was out with you. If you use this, she can play like my dog plays. I do not have to be out here when you play with this. You could use it when I am not here. She could use a little snap. I will see you when your dog is up!”
Yay! You did it! Now you know some new sight words. Keep practicing, and you’ll be a reading star!
Word Hunt Adventure: Go on a word hunt around your home or classroom! Look for items that match the sight words you learned. For example, find something “little” like a toy or something you can “use” like a pencil. Share your findings with a friend or family member and explain why each item matches the word.
Story Time Switch: Create a short story using some of the sight words. You can start with, “Once upon a time, a little dog went out to play.” Then, take turns with a friend or family member to add sentences using other sight words like “could,” “then,” or “when.” See how creative your story can become!
Action Word Play: Act out the sight words with your body! For example, when you hear the word “down,” crouch down low. When you hear “came,” pretend to walk towards someone. This will help you remember the words by associating them with actions.
