Sight Word of the Week covers 40 key sight words for Preschool and Kindergarten students. If you’re worried about all the color ink required, you can certainly print these games in black and white or greyscale and still have a working game that will engage your students….especially when you use colorful candies or mini-poms. We suggest using gumdrops, peppermints, red-hots, mini-poms, or even scented playdough. In this case, you’ll need one die and a handful of your choice of holiday decoration. Generally, you’ll need a single die or pair of dice, and a handful of small manipulatives you can use to cover certain areas of the gameboard. Roll and cover games are very simple to set up and are essentially no-prep. Sight Word Games & Activities Printable Roll & Cover Games We’ve put together a fun set of games you can use to teach your students common sight words.
Sight words are words that cannot be sounded out phonetically, and thus must be memorized. While phonics will provide your students with a solid foundation in reading, sight words are just as important for fluency and speed. For students learning how to read, sight words are of great importance.
