Why learn sight words?
• Sight words are words that can not be easily
decoded because they do not follow the
“rules” for letters and sounds.
• They are found frequently in text
• The more one-on-one time a child has
learning and practicing sight words with an
adult, the greater his chances to integrating
them into his long-term memory.
How to play
this game is for 2 or more players
• Print and cut out the word cards and 6 game cards at the end.
• Place cards into a container (The words are entered in the order they
were taught. For those who are having trouble-put in those words your
child knows and then add one additional page of words. Once those are
learned, continue to add one page at a time)
• Pull out one card at a time.
• If you can read the card, you can keep it.
• If you get a “special” game card, do what it tells you to do
(then place it under the container so it doesn’t get pulled again)
• Play for a specific amount of time or until all the cards are
gone.
• The player with the most cards wins!
