I’m gonna be honest, I hesitated to try teaching sight words to E for the longest time. I wasn’t sure if they were going to be interesting to her and didn’t want to frustrate her while she was working so hard on sounding out words.
I finally decided to just see how it went, and she LOVED it! Even with plain flash cards, she couldn’t get enough and kept asking to practice.
To support her learning, I made these Pre-Primer Sight Word Pumpkins that can be used for lots of different sight word activities!
What’s in the printable?
I’ve included all 40 Dolch pre-primer sight words written on pumpkins in order of frequency. There are four pumpkins on a page for a total of ten pages.
Printing options
If you want a smaller size, like I did for a sight word memory game we’ve played, you can easily print several pages on one sheet.
I’ve printed 4 pages on one sheet of paper for the memory game. It makes a nice size to play with or to use for smaller flash cards that you can take along wherever you have some downtime that you can use to practice. {Here’s a sensory bin activity I used them for after the memory game.}
For hanging up in a pocket chart or elsewhere where you want to be able to read them from a bit farther away, printing two pages to a sheet works well.
