Reading for Meaning | Learning Sight Words

Reading for Meaning. Learning Sight Words ...

Teach sight words and provide practice with these cloze passages.  Students read the text and choose the correct sight word from the word box.  These pages encourage the reader to find the correct word by trial and error... you should hear lots of reading going on as they check and reread the passage to hear the meaning and if the word makes sense... my students love these and get better at cloze as they have more practice. The key is to read aloud or to a partner and listen to the passage after choosing the sight word.  5 literacy skills that make better readers are reading, thinking, writing, listening and speaking; and all 5 skills are practiced when solving these cloze activity passages. 

Cloze Activity - Sight Word Practice

Flash cards are in two forms ...one for individual students to read, cut and work with on a daily routine. The others are for you to display in the classroom. These sight words are from Fry’s list...the first 100.  This cloze activity is good reinforcement and review for children to practice reading fluency and working with sight words they have already mastered. Working with a partner or small groups will provide an opportunity to listen and speak about these passages. Many of these text passages also are on important life skill topics ; i.e. recess is important, making friends, a trip to the library, practice makes perfect, being a good student.   Students read to find the correct sight word that makes sense. Reading and rereading are important and improve reading achievement.  Cloze activity has that 'solve a puzzle' attribute which creates high interest and motivation. Once your students start solving these cloze activities, they look for more!

Practice Reading Fluency with these Sight WordPractice Pages

Students must read and reread for meaning.  Mini sight word cards for student use; larger word cards for your pocket chart.  These pages make an excellent morning reading activity, small group activity or send home in a folder to keep those children reading.  When working on these cloze passages, children learn to listen to their own reading; they learn that reading sounds right and makes sense. 

Sight Words Cloze Activity

Answer keys are included for quick correcting.  List of 100 sight words (Fry's List) and teacher directions are also included.  And a final note:  more text passages and more sight words will be added soon.  Get yours at this low price and you will be able to get the updated version for FREE. And if you follow, you will receive notifications of new teaching resource listings, updates and sales.  All new teacher resources are listed at 50% off all new teacher resource listings for the first 24 hours.

Sight-Word-Stages Leveled Readers - Differentiate by Printing!

    

 As educators, we have all kinds of fun activities and strategies for teaching and reinforcing sight words for reading and writing. Many of them involve practicing these words out of context. The point of Sight Word Recognition is to be able to recognize these words at a glance, in isolation. But all of the practice needn't be. I am in the early stages of creating a series of readers called 'Sight Word Stages' readers to help teachers differentiate for their students within the same reading level. 

While some of our students may struggle with putting all of the pieces of the reading puzzle together and need to work on that, there are many others who simply have difficulty remembering, and who require extra opportunities to practice using these little words in context.

 Here is an example of a DRA/Reading Recovery Level 2 Reader:

 

 A color PDF is included in the package, indicating the sight words of focus on the cover. I print these on thicker paper, laminate them and keep them with other guided reading books.

 Directional support is provided with the go to stop method.

 

 A regular black and white copy is provided. Students can color and keep these, if you wish.

 

 A trace-the-sight-word copy is provided for students requiring this level of support.

 A fill-in-the-blanks copy is also provided for each title.

---

Supplementary Materials:

Color and black & white sentence strips                                                             (Tip: Print color copy onto card paper and laminate, and store with color readers for reuse)

Color and black & white Self-Check lists                                                                (I have a laminated color one on the wall over the writing table with a dry-erase marker, but know classroom teachers who give each child their own black and white copy, one who shrinks it to half-size. Early finishers draw or practice words on the back!)

Sometimes - there's a surprise bonus activity - particularly in the bundles. Check the previews!

Here is what is currently available in the Sight-Word-Stages Readers Series:

Please note that freebies will not contain all of the parts mentioned above.

Emergent Reader: Butterflies (variety of sight words)

You can find this cute emergent reader HERE!

This product is now available in an Insects Bundle.

This emergent reader, “Butterflies” is connected to several CCGPS listed below. This 13 page book is designed so that you can copy the book, cut it in half, staple, and then it is ready for use. The 13 pages include a title page “Butterflies” then each of the remaining 12 pages contains black and white pictures at the top of each page and a sentence under the picture. 

This emergent reader focuses on a variety of sight words including: look, at, the, on, here, is, he, this, we, see, likes, now, can, with, put, my, pretty, will, go, in, and are.

Look at the preview to see each page included. 

Here are the sentences for each page:
Page 1: Title: Butterflies
Page 2: Look at the egg on the leaf.
Page 3: Here is the caterpillar. He is hungry.
Page 4: This is a chrysalis.
Page 5: We see a pretty butterfly.
Page 6: The butterfly likes the flowers.
Page 7: Now we see a lot of butterflies!
Page 8: We can catch a butterfly with our nets.
Page 9: I put the butterfly in my jar.
Page 10: I can look at my pretty butterfly.
Page 11: I will let the butterfly go.
Page 12: The butterflies are in the rain.
Page 13: The butterflies are in the sky. They are pretty!

Students can benefit from this reader by tracking print, identifying spaces between words, identifying particular letters of the alphabet, recognizing sounds (beginning, middle, and ending) in each word, and reading sight words and grade level text. For extension activities, students could add another sentence to each page to add details. The black and white pictures allow students the opportunity to color the pictures. This reader is great for guided reading groups, homework, or literacy center activities. 

ELACCKRF1a. Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page-by-page.
ELACCKRF1b. Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters.
ELACCKRF1c. Understand that words are separated by spaces in print. 
ELACCKRF3a. Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one letter-sound correspondences by producing the primary or many of more frequent sounds for each consonant. 
ELACCKRF3c. Read common high-frequency words by sight. 
ELACCKRF4. Read emergent-reader texts with purpose and understanding.
