share to facebook sunday september 23 2018 sight word fluency activities to maximize learning do you find you don t have enough time in the day to teach everything you planned of course you do sadly most of us do resources that maximize learning are sometimes hard to come by which is why i m always motivated to create my own activities that integrate different subjects and or cover many different skills here are some brand new pre primer and primer sight word fluency activities that do just that and they re fun to complete which is an added bonus these sight word fluency activity sheets combine the following skills sight word fluency decoding unknown words using picture clues handwriting practice each sheet highlights one pre primer or primer sight word to complete students read and color the word write the word four times read three similar sentences which contain the sight word plus many other sight words most of which were previously taught the sentences also contain one unknown word followed by a picture clue students use the picture to help decode the unknown word write each sentence using their best handwriting lots of skills being practiced in these activity sheets i created them in color and in black and white you can print a colored set to laminate or put in page protectors for students to complete with dry erase markers or you can print a sheet for each student i also used the same words and sentences in these sight word fluency books children love to create books right i created these activity sheets and books to complement each other but they can also be used alone they can both be used for morning work whole groups small groups independent work centers interventions homework they are low prep for you and high interest for students the books can be taken home and read to family and friends or kept in book boxes for repeat readings i think you ll love them too but if you want to try before you buy you will find a free activity sheet
