Sight Word City
for 1st Grade
Children
need to have the necessary skills and strategies to become
independent readers. Teachers and parents need to be aware
of the all-important instructional tools and "promising
practices." This program has been created to provide
resources and materials for classroom teachers, reading
specialists and parents. Please feel free to download and
print.
Sight Word City is a supplemental, instructional program
that is appropriate for first graders, second language
learners, and for children who are having difficulties with
beginning reading. It is meant to build independence and
fluency in word recognition, spelling, and writing. All the
materials are reproducible and may be shared with your staff
and parents. Some may be used as part of classroom centers
during your language arts block.
Included for each week are six-page packets that include the
following practice pages for four or five sight words:
Configuration Station, What's Missing? (cloze), Where Are
the Words? (word search), Rhyme Time (cut and paste), Order
in the Court (abc order), Clever Connector (opposites),
Awesome Artist (illustrating sight word in context), and
Score with Scrabble. As children complete these packets they
gain confidence in their ability to be successful.
Colorful Word Card Sets may be duplicated to play memory
games or Go Fish or to build automaticity in word
recognition. Each card has a picture and a sentence with the
word in context.
Color and Write booklets may be reproduced and used to build
handwriting skills. The artwork matches the word cards, but
they are in black and white for student coloring and
completion in a literacy center. The sentence appears twice,
once in a dotted letter format for tracing with space
beneath for students to rewrite the sentence.
Jigsaw puzzles with pictures and sentences may be reproduced
and used in a pocket chart or as a tabletop/floor activity.
Labels are included for organizing puzzles for storage in
large envelopes. It is suggested that the colorful puzzles
and word cards be laminated for durability.
Finally, the program includes reproducible sight word
readers and matching big books for shared reading for each
week. Pocket chart activities for the readers help build
word recognition, comprehension and sequencing skills.
Individual readers should be placed in a student familiar
reading boxes/basket for repeated reading and fluency.
More activities, readers and big books may be added in the
future and the review materials need to be created.
