Practicing sight words is lots of fun when you get to help a lizard find bugs in the sand. This lesson is a cute follow-up to our decodable book, Liz.
Wild West – Lesson 25
I can read sight words.
Objective: To fluently read sight words. (RF.K.3)
Materials: bin, sand, sharpie, plastic bugs, lizard shaped cut-outs.
Procedures: Purchase a few bags of plastic bugs at the dollar store. Use a sharpie to write a sight word on each bug. Cut out lizard shapes from green construction paper. Write a sight word on each. Create a sensory bin with your child using sand, rocks, clay cacti and plastic bugs. Your child will find a bug, read the sight word and match it to the lizard with the corresponding sight word.
Conclusion: When all the bugs have been found, your child will read each sight word and use it in a sentence.
