Let’s have fun learning some special words called sight words! These are words we see a lot when we read. Knowing them helps us read better and faster. Let’s learn them together!
Sight words are words that we can remember in our minds. We read them from left to right, just like a train on a track. There are many sight words, and they help us read smoothly, like a river flowing.
Can you say “which”? Great! “Which” is a word we use when we want to choose something.
Now, let’s say “what.” Awesome! We use “what” when we have a question, like “What is your favorite color?”
Say “where” with me. Perfect! “Where” helps us ask about places, like “Where is the park?”
Try saying “will.” Good job! “Will” is a word we use when we talk about something we are going to do, like “I will play outside.”
Let’s say “about.” Nice! We use “about” when we talk about something, like “This book is about animals.”
Say “up” with me. Yay! “Up” is a direction, like when we look up at the sky.
Can you say “one”? Great! “One” is a number, like when we have one apple.
Say “out.” Awesome! “Out” is when we go outside to play.
Let’s say “them.” Good! We use “them” when we talk about more than one thing, like “I see them playing.”
Say “then” with me. Perfect! “Then” tells us what happens next, like “First we eat, then we play.”
Try saying “many.” Great job! “Many” means a lot, like “There are many stars in the sky.”
Say “some.” Nice! “Some” means a few, like “I have some crayons.”
Remember, sight words are like magic keys that help us unlock the world of reading. Keep practicing, and soon you’ll know so many sight words! They will help your reading flow like a gentle breeze.
Keep looking, listening, and saying your sight words. You’ll be a reading superstar in no time!
Sight Word Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom to find objects that match your sight words. For example, find something that is “up” high, or a place where you can go “out.” Can you find something that you have “one” of? Share your findings with a friend or family member!
Sight Word Storytime: Create a short story using some of the sight words you learned. You can start with a sentence like “One day, I went out to the park.” Try to use words like “where,” “what,” and “then” to make your story interesting. Draw pictures to go along with your story and share it with the class!
Word Match Game: Make a set of cards with your sight words written on them. Mix them up and place them face down. Take turns flipping over two cards at a time, trying to find matching pairs. When you find a match, say the word out loud and use it in a sentence. See how many matches you can find!
