I color code sight words in my classroom:
Green= they can be sounded out using the typical short vowel sound and following the rule that if there is one vowel in a word that it will most likely be a short sound.
Yellow=they have some sort of digraph, blend, chunk or a rule that we can teach.
Red=they are words that are irregular and don�t follow the rules.
I focus on all sight words in my classroom but more on the yellow and red words. This pack includes practice sheets for yellow and red sight words.
Please check out the preview for sample worksheets and a list of the words included. :)
What a great idea to color code your sight words like this! This is a wonderful product and I LOVE that you provided a blank sheet to add my own words. Thanks!
Thank you! I borrowed the idea from Orton Gillingham. It really helps my students because it makes them realize that they have to use different skills to learn sight words. "oh- that must be a yellow word because it has an 'or' chunk.". You will love to hear their thinking apply to reading! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you! They are simple but are good practice for my students. I make sure before they get a worksheet that we discuss what color it is and we have a mini- lesson behind the reasoning.
