Sight Word Sentences
Very First
Many thanks for your purchase! I am dedicated to
creating products that help kids build confidence with
early literacy skills. These sight words sentences are
designed with a high level of picture support. Just one
sight word is added on each page.
Because of the highly supportive format, these sight
word sentences can be read during small group
instruction, chorally with your whole class and/or in
literacy centers.
These sentences are designed to be introduced at
school, and then sent home for repeated practice. I
encourage kids to color in a star each time they read
the page, and then to bring it back to me when they
have filled in all the stars. I often offer a small treat
when kids return these completed sheets.
If you have comments or suggestions, please feel free
to contact me at [email protected]. If you
are happy with this product, I’d greatly appreciate it if
you would leave feedback at my shop.
Sincerely,
Anne Gardner, NBCT Literacy Please note: This purchase gives you a lifetime license for use with the students in your class. If you have colleagues who would like to use this work, please refer them to my shop.

Sight Word Sentences – Contents
Sight Word Sentences Dear Parents,
Your child will be bringing home a set of Sight Word Sentence sheets. These sentences are based on common sight words that your child will frequently read and write. Repeated reading of these sentences will be very helpful as your child develops early literacy skills.
Please have your child read at least one of the sheets to you every night. Please provide support as needed to help your child read accurately. At this point, most students benefit from carefully touching each word as they read.
Each time your child reads a full page, please have him/her color in one star on the bottom of the sheet. When your child has filled in all the stars on a sheet, please send it back and he/she will win a little treat.
It would also be very helpful to have your child write one of these sentences or a sentence using similar words. Please help your child leave large “2 finger spaces” between words.
Many thanks for your support helping your child develop early reading skills. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
