You may also be interested in our Ready2Read program that combines both phonics AND sight words! As an educator, I understand that children need both components to successfully learn how to read.
What is a sight word? Sight words and High Frequency words are essentially the same. They are words that kids should memorize and account for a large percentage of text that is read. Here are some statistics:
-
12 Sight Words make up 25% of those we read and write.
-
100 Sight Words make up 50% of those we read and write
-
About 300 Sight Words account for 75% of those we read and write
The pre-primer (Dolch List) printables include: a, and, away, big, blue, can, came, down, find, for, funny, go, help, here, I, in, is, it, jump, little, look, make, me, my, not, one, play, red, run, said, see, the, three, to, two, up, we, where, yellow, you.
Since we have been using the Bob Book 
We are putting them into clear plastic sleeves
*NOTE: since many color words are also sight words, I did not color code them so students have more practice with each sight word. However, you could color code them yourself if you like:)
what a cool idea!! thanks for sharing!
Great idea! Thanks so much!

I found your link on No Time for Flashcards. Love this and I'll be using them this week! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for sharing that! That really makes me happy:) In a way, it makes me still feel like I am in the classroom teaching. I love the creative outlet.
I love this idea! But I can't get the download to work. It says the files are damaged when I try to open them. Help!

Oh no!! I did it in photoshop elements and will look into it right away. I will try to fix it tonight. Is anyone else having problems. Please let me know and thanks for your patience:)
Cathy, I am looking into the issue and I think that you need Adobe Reader to open the pdfs. Please let me know if that helps.

This is awesome…Emily will love working with these!!!
Thank you for these printables! I found you from 1+1+1=1
This is a great idea. My 4 year old is just starting to grasp reading. These will help a lot.
This is SO awesome!!! I LOVE this idea – how creative! I adore the idea of putting them in sheet protectors and being able to make your own sentences! How neat! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
I'm loving all your printables, especially all the magnet ones. I have a 18 month old and 3.5 yr old so it's nice to read your blog and find activities that work for us.

Thank YOU Rebecca! I am so happy that they can be helpful to you:)
I know this is from a while ago, but I just found it and it's perfect for what I'm doing. I look forward to using your reading program once my kids know all the letter sounds!
