In my defense, I really love using the laminating machine. I think I might have still been on this alternate planet when I decided instead of going out and buying a deck of flash cards, I’d make my own. One appropriately titled “Kindergarten Sight Words” and one titled “Dolch Pre-Primer Sight Vocabulary.” Instead, she gave me two sheets of paper. Ha!Ĭlearly, I was imagining I was on another planet where teachers aren’t over-worked and under-paid. He’s started reading the Bob Books, but I asked his Pre-K teacher about what sight words he would need to know or would learn next year in kindergarten.įor some reason, I imagined she would give me a handy deck of flash cards to use to facilitate the process of learning these sight words. So, we dipped our foot in that water and lo and behold, the little stinker knew more than he was letting on! My son just finished up Pre-K and earlier this year I noticed he was starting to put sounds together and showing interest in learning how to read. Your suggestion may be the subject of an upcoming post.I make my kids do reading, writing and arithmetic during their summer break. If you have any suggestions or needs for your preschool, please leave me a comment and let me know. I’m always open to suggestions for upcoming posts and printables. If you are teaching your preschooler to read this year, be sure to check back frequently so you don’t miss any of the fun sight word activities I have coming soon. The Pre-Primer Sight Words are available for instant download. Focus on another skill, and revisit the sight words in a few days or weeks.

If your child isn’t picking up on the sight words at first, put them away. However you choose to use them, be gentle. Let them put words together to create simple sentences. Tape them to surfaces around the house so kids see them frequently. Print out two sets and use them to play memory match. Again, there are many different ways you can use these cards with your preschoolers. I’ve also included a set of sight word cards. Put a checkmark or sticker by the words they recognize, and continue reviewing the words they don’t know. You can use it as a checklist to assess which words your preschoolers know. You can laminate it and hang it on the wall for your preschoolers to see frequently. To start with, I’ve created a pre-primer sight word list that you can use many different ways.

Therefore, I sat down and wrote a huge list of sight word-based activities that I can’t wait to create for you and your preschoolers. Instead, I knew that I could help her out by creating a sight words printable pack for her to use with her daughter. I could have just given her a link to a sight word list from Pinterest. Last week, in my Homeschool Journey Facebook group, someone asked for a list of sight words she could use with her preschooler. I love when a reader has a specific need that I can help with.
