Sight Word Fluency and Reading Intervention

March 21, 2015 misskindergarten 2 Comments

Sight word practice printables

Mastering sight words is such an important part of learning how to read. These are words that you will see in almost all of the books you will read. It is important to practice sight word fluency to help your students become better readers!

I *love* when we learn a new sight word and my kids start making connections, seeing that word around our classroom. Their eyes light up and they are so excited that they can READ! I get so excited too!

Sight word fluency practice pages

A few of my students were doing great reading their sight words in isolation, but were having a tougher time making the connections when seeing these words in print. I created these fun reading pages to help guide them with sight word fluency. They have repeated patterns to help ensure success and provide the much needed encouragement that young learners need when learning how to read.

Reading Sight Words Fluently in Isolation:

We start by touching and reading each sight word in isolation. This repetitive practice is great to help your students visually see the word while reading it out loud.

Then we use a yellow crayon to highlight the word in each sentence. This helps the kiddos to see the word in each sentence.

Reading the word "here" with fluency

Reading Fluency Practice:

After the students find the words, they read the sentences. I have them read each sentence 3 times to practice accuracy and fluency. They get to color a kid every time they read the sentences and they LOVE that!

While I am listening to a student in my small group read his/her sentences, the rest of the kiddos are writing their favorite sentence and illustrating a picture to show comprehension. Not only is it important for my students to be able to read their sight words in sentences, they also have to show that they understand what they are reading!

Showing comprehension with fluency

This resource includes over 150 sight words for your students to practice and continues to grow as I add more words to it! You can check it out in my shop below.

It also recently received a digital update, so you can now use these with your distance learning! Each page is preloaded into Seesaw and Google Classroom. Watch this video to see how it works!

I also created some color words practice as an introduction to teaching my students to read sight words. They are perfect for introducing your students to reading sight words because they are words that they have seen and will continue to see in the real world around them.

This free download includes 11 of the most common color words {red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, black, white, brown, gray/grey} for your students to practice reading and improve their reading fluency as well.

These story time sticks from @rainbows.and.reading These story time sticks from @rainbows.and.reading are such a great idea! She keeps them out while reading a story so she can ask comprehension questions before, during, and after reading. Have you tried story times sticks? #saturdayteachershare

They are so helpful in allowing your budding readers to focus on the words they’re reading and they’re highly engaging!

A wonderful mama sent me this photo and said “Ca A wonderful mama sent me this photo and said “Camden’s self esteem while reading has risen! He is so proud of himself and loves his book. He read five pages in a row with excitement!” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
THIS is why we do it! Building readers who are CONFIDENT in themselves & show excitement for learning. Once that confidence emerges, those readers shine! ☀️
