Sight Word Foldable Books

We use sight words to promote fluency in reading.  These foldable books allow students to practice recognizing sight words in isolation as well as in context.  Students will read, write and spell each sight word.

There are four different foldable books for each sight word to each teacher can differentiate for each student's level.

There is one book that provides mixed practice.  Students will trace the sight word, write the sight word, read sentences with the sight word, then find the sight word within sentences and then dab the sight word within a group of similar words.

The other types of foldable books come in 3 different formats.  The first format is where students simply read sentences that contain the sight word.  The second, students trace the sight word then read the sentences.  The third, the students write the sight word then read the sentences.  Each of these three books have the same sentences, but the way students interact with each book is different so the teacher can tailer the activity to each student's needs.

Sight Word Dab It!

Dab a sight word activities are a good way for students to practice sight word recognition.  Sight word recognition is important for beginning readers to gain fluency in reading, and these pages provide a way for students to see and recognize sight words to begin that journey to reading fluently.  Students can also get in some fine motor practice and some hand eye coordination by using dabbers to mark each sight word the correct color.


These pages come in several different lists so you can better fit the pages to your curriculum.  Each list is presents in order of frequency, so the most common words appear first and less common words are at the end.  A complete selection of lists will be provided at the end of this post.  


Another way to complete these pages is to use colorful bingo chips.  You can laminate each page to make a reusable literacy center activity.


Another way to complete these pages are for students to color each sight word the correct color.  These pages make great homework activities, literacy centers, early finishers, or morning work activities.


Here is the complete list of sight word dab it packets available:
