Learning Sight Words
Sight words are a vital part of learning to read. Unlike most words, they are usually not decodable. However, due to their high frequency, encountering sight words while reading is inevitable.
There are many ways to learn and practice sight words. While flashcards, worksheets, and hands-on sight word activities all play an important role, practicing sight words in the context of reading is vital to building sight word mastery.
Sight Word Sentences
In order to encourage confidence in reading, I recommend using controlled text when practicing reading sight words in context.
Controlled text means that, thanks to prior learning and picture clues, students should be able to read all of the words in the text.
I’ve created these sight word sentence activities for all of Fry’s first 300 sight words. Even if you do not use Fry’s sight word lists, many of the words overlap with other lists. Most importantly, kids will often encounter all of these words when learning to read!
Using the Sight Word Sentences Worksheets
Here’s how I use these sight word sentence worksheets with my students.
Identify the target Sight Word
The target sight word is always listed on the top left corner of the page. After discussing the word, we decide whether we will be highlighting, coloring, circling, or underlining the word.
My students love to “highlight” with a crayon, but you can use a pencil, crayon, pen, or marker. It’s up to you!
I usually have them find the sight word in each sentence independently.
Review the Picture Clues
This is completely optional, but I like to review the picture clues with my students, especially my ELL/ESL students.
We discuss what word we think the picture represents and find the word in the sentence.
Not only does this frontloading increase student vocabulary, it also helps them feel confident and successful when it’s time to read the sentences!
Read the Sentences
Now it begins! For the first read, we usually read the sight word sentences aloud together.
I like to make sure to model how to read the sentences fluently and encourage tracking words with my finger.
Students color a happy face once every sentence on the page has been read.
Repeated Readings
Let’s build that fluency! It’s not enough to read the page just once. Students should be exposed to repeated readings in order to build fluency (and sight word mastery).
Students must read the entire page at least three times (hence three smiley faces at the bottom).
Don’t worry, we make this fun! During repeated readings, we often read:
- to a partner
- in a whisper voice
- in a scary or silly voice
- to self
- to teacher

Fun Ways to Work on Reading Sight Word Sentences!

When it comes to teaching my students to read sight word sentences, I love to use word family words. We focus on reading short vowel words first, then we move onto reading those words in sentences!
Incorporating sight words we have learned and short vowel words into sentences really helps my students build their reading fluency! Here are some of my favorite ways to practice reading fluency with kindergartners.
Sentence Strips for Fluency
Sentence reading fluency combines word family words and sight words in order for students to practice reading at a “just right” pace. One of my favorite ways to have my students practice is with sentence reading fluency strips. You can find my Short Vowel Sentence Reading Strips here!
All of the word family words are grouped into rings for my students to flip through. They are color-coded and easy to use at nearly any time of day! Grouping them by word family allows students to work on one vowel pattern at a time. This is helpful as they build their sentence reading fluency. Once they make their way through one ring of words, they can flip through another!
To differentiate each word family, copy the sentence strips onto colored paper. You can laminate these for durability and easy cleaning. I like to place the sentence strips in my word work or literacy center bins when we are learning about word families. They stay there for at least a week before I switch the materials out.
The word family words are paired with common sight words to help students practice reading simple sight word sentences. Word family and sight word practice all in one? That’s a win in my book!
Roll and Read for Fluency
To keep our reading fluency practice fun, the word family sentences also have a roll and read activity, so we can play our favorite “dice game” with our sentences too! We like to play these with partners so we are also reading to someone else. Reading simple sentences to one another holds students accountable. I don’t know about yours, but my kids LOVE partner work.
You can find these Short Vowel Reading Fluency Sentence Strips in my store, along with other great word family and sight words activities.
Reading Long Vowel Words
After your students have mastered sentence reading fluency with short vowels, you can challenge them with long vowel sentences. Check out the Reading Fluency Long Vowel Words in Sentences. These are a great pair for lessons about magic e or silent e.
The key to reading fluently and accurately is repetition. Place these activities in your literacy centers all year long so students can practice more than once. I like to put them in for a week and then come back to them after a week or two.

I hope these activities and ideas are beneficial and fun for your students. Watching your students grow into little readers is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching! Have fun reading!

Option 6 Dunno - variants of the Unified State Examination, OGE, VPR 2023
(1) During the harsh war years, during the bombing, my grandmother always stood at the post with a rifle over her shoulders and with a whistle in her hand.
(2) Small in stature, but very plump, she, like a bun, rolled out to the post and directed people to the shelter, cheering the stragglers with a thin trill of a whistle.
(Z) Neighbors loved Zinaida Ilyinichna for her kindness and ability to cheer up a person with advice or the right word. (4) And we, the children, simply doted on her soul. (5) As a girl, she was Yusupova (she was secretly very proud of her roots), and the oriental reflection gave her appearance a special flavor.
(6) The whole entrance remembered the story of Ivan, a thirteen-year-old teenager who moved into our house with a sick mother and a half-blind grandmother. (7) In his short life, the teenager managed to visit the colony for theft, at first his loud swearing sounded in the entrance.
(8) With the consent of his mother, his grandmother undertook to arrange Ivan for a part-time job in the theater of the young spectator. (9) For six months, she literally took him by the hand to performances, heatedly discussed her impressions with him, asked to describe her feelings and emotions. (10) Then, step by step, she taught me to work on myself with the help of a diary.
(11) The result exceeded all expectations. (12) Vanechka, as his grandmother called him, having a wonderful memory and absolute pitch, turned out to be gifted with artistic talent. (13) Within a year, he learned all the roles and easily replaced the absent actors.
(14) After graduating from the directing and screenwriting department of VGIK after the war, Ivan subsequently became an honored artist and director.
(15) Being a primary school teacher, grandmother was able to create an atmosphere of play in the lessons, at the same time not letting the students get away from the main goal - obtaining new knowledge. (16) Lessons of joy - such was the style of her teaching. (17) And the children literally idolized their Zinaida Ilyinichna.
(18) Next to her, even the bombing was not so terrible. (19) Grandmother instilled in others confidence in an imminent victory, hope for good news from relatives, from the crucible of the front line - otherwise it could not be .
..
(20) It was August 1941, and the Germans subjected our city to cruel bomb attacks. (21) The August night was dark and warm. (22) The shelling that began made us wake up from sleep. (23) "Where is my whistle, look!" - Grandma's cry finally woke up my mother and me. (24) Hanging our heads off the bed, we peered into the darkness, trying in vain to help. (25) Surely this ill-fated whistle dangled from her belt or around her neck. (26) "Your handiwork, Anka?" my grandmother attacked me, because I was always the cause of the mess in the house. (27) Finally, the whistle was found - it really ended up somewhere in the back pocket of my grandmother's skirt.
(28) Despite her age and solid weight, grandmother rushed to the post in a whirlwind, and we ran to our shelter not far from the house. (29) This deep pit, covered with boards from above, was our bomb shelter - it was dug by the tenants who remained in the house. (Z0) Of course, it would not have saved us from the bomb, but here we felt protected.
(31) Clinging to each other under the deafening roar of exploding shells and the crying of children, we tried not to chatter our teeth with fear and even hum.
(32) Suddenly, my mother started laughing. (33) "Linochka, what's wrong with you?" the neighbor asked nervously. (34) Mom, literally choking on laughter, continued to burst. (Z5) The tension that seized people left after she told about her grandmother's gatherings, about how a small, round Zinaida Ilyinichna, with a rifle behind her back, hurriedly threw things around the house, trying to find a whistle. (36) Scene after scene, she painted a picture of this furious search so vividly that the smiles on the faces of those present were replaced by laughter. (37) Everyone laughed, even the crying children smiled. (38) Laughed to tears - loud, pre-war laughter.
(39) When we emerged from our squalid hiding place, we rushed to our fortunately intact house. (40) Grandmother ran towards, smearing tears of joy on her cheeks, because she saw us alive and unharmed.
