Share this:
I am THRILLED to finally be able to launch the Ready2Read program! This has taken me a long time to put together and test. It is finally here and I am EXCITED!
Head on over to the Information Page to learn more about the Ready2Read program!
*Note: As of 11/7/2012, Level 1 has been completely reworked and revised. Here is the NEW and IMPROVED version! This blogpost will be a bit different from the upgraded printables, but contains the same content. Lesson plans are included!
Sight Words: I, see, the, and, a
Word Families: -at, -an
Theme: Word Family Garden
We started off with our color by number flashcards.
Laminated, cut out and practiced…
We made a new sight word caterpillar. I like this one better than my original, because Audrey has ownership in the what she learns. Not a Mommy made project, but an Audrey made project:)
Sight Word Caterpillar colored, laminated and learned!!
We sang our sight words to the tune of B-I-N-G-O. We used a cookie sheet and magnets on the back of the words. Audrey really enjoyed putting up the words and Sophia loved singing along!
I called these cherrio mats, but they turned into bean and cake decorating mats! This was one of Audrey’s favorites and it was so much FUN!!
What a FUN way to learn sight words!! The only problem I had was trying to keep her from eating all of the cake decorations;)
We have 5 Read it, Trace it, Paste it sheets that work ONLY with the 5 new sight words and the 2 new word families learned this week.
Audrey read her -an and -at family mini books.
Color by sight word coloring page…
Coloring her color by word family apple tree…
We starting “planting” our word family garden. I laminated some green construction paper, roughly cut it up and made “grass.”
Sorting the -an and -at family apples…
Circling the correct CVC word…
Crack the sight word code page. Audrey really enjoyed this activity! At first she wasn’t sure how to do it, but she caught on quickly and didn’t want any help from me!
Matching the correct CVC (-at and -an family words) to the correct picture.
Working with -at and -an family word slides
CVC Boxes-build a word to match the picture.
Build the word and paste the letters into the boxes. You can also write the letters in the boxes with a dry erase maker if you laminate the pictures.

Thank you Stephanie! You always have such sweet and encouraging words;)
Thanks a lot. I can't wait to start using it with my grandson. He will especially the the "secret code" words. Thanks again.
printing everything now 🙂 so excited! this is perfect since we are doing sight and word family words.
how long is the linky open?
I will keep the linky open for several weeks so people have enough time to get their links up:) Maybe I will keep it up longer???
You did a great job!! I dont use a 'sight' word program, but I love to pull from other places when a sight word is introduced in our curriculum. Thanks for sharing with us!
This is just what I have been looking for. I have been debating purchasing a program for next year, and this is an absolute BLESSING!
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome Katie! I had the same dilemma…I just wasn't ready to purchase a program for my almost 4 year old…so I made one:)
Thanks so much for developing this! Between you and Carissa, my boys are all set! 🙂
Congrats Annie! This looks fabulous! I will definitely be making use of your resources. Than you for all the hard work & time you have put into this.
Do link this up to this Sunday's (it actually goes live Saturday at 8) the Sunday Showcase on my blog – it seriously needs to be shared! 🙂

I have just started making and gathering resources for my daughter as we embark on the learning to read adventure. I am so grateful to have stumbled across your blog and am printing off your fabulous pack as I type this comment. Thank you so much for generously sharing all of your hard work. As a former teacher, I can imagine the enormous amount of time that has gone into creating this.
We will be using this here in Australia – so it's gone global:) I'll be sure to post back to your linky.
I am your newest follower.
What great ideas! Thank you so much for making this available for free! So nice to meeting you.
I just wanted to let you know I featured your post on my blog (with a link, don't worry I didn't copy/paste).
Thanks again for this great program!

Wow! what a great program. Seeing all the pictures really makes it come to life. I wish I would have had this when my 4 kiddos were learning to read. I hope you have lots of people use this.
I personally think you should charge for this sometime in the future. 🙂

Little Miss Glamour Goes to Kindergarten
I just found your site…I love all the ideas…just curious if I am missing something…do you have a place where you got all your printables..or did you make them yourself? 🙂 I am super excited…my little girl is turning 4 in the fall and is loving reading…this will be great!
Thanks

Hi Stephanie!
Yes, I make all of my own printables, unless mentioned in the post.
Hi–found you from Shining Lights blog. Yeah for more great printables! Thanks so much!!!
I saw your link at two different blogs today!!
Did you create the sight word caterpillar or did you find it? I would love to do that with my daughter!!
Thanks!
Hi Annette!
The sight word caterpillar is my creation. I started with making a simple sight word caterpillar out of circles that I cut out. Now I use it in my Ready2Read curriculum that I am still in the process of creating:)
Thank you so much for all of your hard work and for sharing! My Lamb is desperate to actually 'read'. We've been using the Montessori phonetic programme and phonetic words are great but he wants to read sentences. You've given me the perfect way to introduce sight words to a little boy not yet four!
Thanks for sharing! I downloaded it and can definitely see using some of the activities with our school's curriculum.
Teachers Cannot Live By Apples Alone
I've been looking for a reading program to work on with my 5 yo and 4 yo. I'm so excited to see this! Going to get printing and get some stuff together to start after Thanksgiving! Thank you!
This is fantastic! thanks for your amazing efforts in making it all! I love the hands on activities.
This is fantastic! thanks for your amazing efforts in making it all! I love the hands on activities.
I am interested in purchasing all 8 units, but I am curious, does each unit come with a lesson plan? I didn't see it listed with the contents. Looks like lots of fun!
Yes, each unit comes with a lesson plan. These units allow you to teach the lessons with very little effort. Just print the units, laminate and cut the appropriate materials and teach them:)
So cute! I was going to link to this in a post (schedule 9/18) and I was wondering if I could use a picture from your post (with a caption linking back to your site). Thanks!!

I have been home schooling my son now for 3 years, and my reading tutor just sent me this link, I am so excited to start using this with my son!!!!
So my little one (who is turning 4 next month) is taking a whole lot of learning in lately and I need to step it up!
So, I visited your shop and purchased the Ready To Read Set 1!
I took a look at it and I can't wait to use it!! I will be sure to follow up soon to let you know how it all goes!
Thanks!!

I teach Kindergarten and would love to have the "Cherrio Mats" for when we learn our Sight Words, and I could put these in centers as well. How do I go about getting those?
Thanks,
Randi
The minute I opened this up I saw that some things were different!
I bought the bundle from TPT and I love it!! (not to mention my tots!!!)
I would like to ask if it would be possible that you send me a copy of the new worm? I'm sure my tots will love seeing the different faces as we move along the different units!
Thanks so much for your wonderful work! You've definitely got a fan in me (and my tots!)
Oh my God I love this! Thank you so much! Im a stay at home teacher mom too (but high school) this will help me with my daughter who struggles.
I love your cherrio mats and the family word slides! Thank you for the amazing ideas!
