Sight Words Reference Books

I loved it this week when the little guy I'm tutoring this summer asked if I could pull out a Super Words reference book (Sight Words Books) so that he could look up how to spell a word.

He was working on a non-fiction book about Great White Sharks and knew that the word 'white' was one of the sight words we learned this past year.  Win!!

I printed these Sight Words Books two years ago and they have survived at least 50 little hands using them.  They are super simple to print out.  I chose to print my covers on red paper to match my classroom décor and I laminated them for extra durability.

I do plan to prep some replacement copies this summer as some of my students have underlined words or accidentally written in them as they've been using them.  But, otherwise they have held up nicely.

I print out enough copies for every student, plus a few extra.  These get placed at tables around the room and at my writing center.  What I love most about these handy reference books is that they have replaced the need for a word wall and, even better, my students have access to all 220 Dolch sight words right from the very first day of school.  Read more about that here. 

Sight Words Books are only $2.50, easy to prep, and are available in my TPT shop.  I hope you and your students love using them as much as we do!

Also available as part of these two bundles:

Sight Words Bundle

Sight Words Bundle with Seesaw Assessments

Sight Word Assessments using the Seesaw app

Do you teach primary and need an easy way to assess sight words on a regular basis?  Now available are my Sight Words Assessments using Seesaw!

If you have access to iPads in the classroom, or another means of using the Seesaw app, then this is the resource for you!

Gone are the days of assessing my students one-on-one with flashcards.  Now, I simply upload the sight words onto Seesaw and my students work independently to read the words and upload it to their learning journal.  This saves me a HUGE amount of valuable time because I can then listen and evaluate at another time.  I can work with other students in the classroom while several students are taking the assessment.  EASY PEASY!

Here is a video of one of my students reading his sight words to me using the Seesaw app:

After reading the words, my students save it in their learning journal for my approval.  I simply open it, listen and assess, then approve so that connected parents can see their progress.
