Dolch Sight Words Games for Kids Online

Whether your son or daughter is a kindergartener or is in the first or second grade, our colorful and animated Dolch Sight Words Games will make it a breeze for them to practice and learn new words. Plus, it will also allow the kids to improve their vocabulary while developing their reading skills. 

The process of learning how to read can be a little challenging for most kids. So, once your kid gives a thumbs up to the 26 letters and the sounds of the alphabet, it is time to begin their reading lessons. Most importantly, you should make sure to help your kid understand that the letters they have learned might not behave as expected when it comes to making words with them. There would be silent consonants and vowels, the same letter producing different sounds, and much more. No wonder English is a very quirky language.

Dolch words refer to high-frequency English vocabulary. These words help prepare your kids to read. Once the kids learn to recognize them on their own, their reading will become fluent. Dolch words are also known as sight words, and they comprise around 50% to 70% of the English vocabulary of reading materials in grade school. Plus, kids and adults with learning difficulties like dyslexia can also benefit from sight words.

SplashLearn’s unique range of online sight word games will help parents and teachers streamline the learning process by allowing their children to learn and memorize the commonly used words. If the kids can do it successfully, they can identify those words on sight.

10 Interactive Online Games to Teach Sight Words to Beginning Readers

Sight words and high frequency words are an important part of teaching new readers. These words have to be memorized, which means they require a lot of repetition and practice. I love using these online games to teach sight words in my classroom.

Sight word instruction can be really challenging in the classroom because you have a classroom filled with students who learn different things in different ways at different paces. 🥴

It requires so much repetition and practice, yet all of our students need those things in different ways.

I tackle sight word instruction from all sides. We read them in sentences, practice them with music and movement, do art projects, and more!

These 10 online games to teach sight words are FREE and super interactive. [Free as of August 2019] They give students the chance to practice identifying, matching and reading sight words, all while playing fun games.

Note: Did you know there is a difference between sight words and high frequency words? I thought they were the same for the longest time. Knowing their differences has helped me with my instruction. Read more about that here!

Sight Word Bingo

This classic bingo game from abcya.com is a favorite for all of my students. The little amoeba monster at the top says a word, then the student identifies it and clicks it.

This game words great on a computer or on an interactive white board. I have my students take turns at the SmartBoard in my classroom during a center or we do it whole group when we have a minute to spare.

No matter when we use it, it’s a student favorite. 👍🏼

Sight Word Smash

Students love this fun, sight word identification game. The computer says a word. Then they use the pointer to find it and smash it.

I like this game because the word is on more than one block so students get the repetition of seeing and identifying the word multiple times!

Sight Word Memory

There are many, many sight word memory games online but this one is my favorite. I like that the computer says the word as you flip the card, whether it’s a match or not.

Seeing and hearing a word multiple times is perfect for auditory and visual learners. I also appreciate that when they finish a level, they can keep playing with new words!

Sight Words in Space

Students love this space themed sight word game. A cat says the word they are trying to find. Words float by in power cells and they have to click the right one.

The words are floating up so students have to identify them quickly. Just like in Sight Word Smash, words appear more than one time, too. 👏

Listen & Spell

I absolutely love this Listen & Spell game! We know that readers struggle with sight words because they do not follow phonics rules or because they are too advanced. We also know that students learn to read and write words at the same time.

This game gives them the chance to spell sight words with a limited number of letters at the bottom. First it says the word, then students use the yellow letters to spell it. The only letters available are letters that are in the word.

Playing this game helps students move on from “identifying” to “creating” on Bloom’s Taxonomy, which we know helps make information stick. Students will gain confidence in writing their sight words as well as reading them!

Sight Word Jigsaw

This identification game uses the same concepts as matching, except students are able to see all of the words at one time. They click the sound button on one of the yellow pieces to hear the word they are looking for. Then they find the blue word puzzle piece and drag it over.

I like that this game adds the element of looking at several words to find the correct one. It gives students practice at quickly identifying words by their beginning sounds.

Popcorn Words

Students playing this game are working the popcorn machine at a movie theater. A monkey comes up to the counter and says a sight word. Students click on the correct sight word to give it to the monkey.

Once they have handed out 10 popcorn buckets correctly, they get to play a quick in-between game and then are promoted. Their goal is to become the manager. I’m sure it will not surprise you to hear that my students beg to play this game!

Kitten Hop

This silly game is another favorite of my students. They are playing a kitten who bounces from yarn ball to yarn ball. The computer says a sight word. That word is on one of the four yarn balls in front of the one your kitten is on.

Students love this game because they are racing three other kittens. The winner is the one who reaches the couch at the end of the game first. They have to be quick at matching the sight word their hear to the correct ball of year if they want to win!

Note: this game has options at the beginning for choosing a color, a name, etc. You will want to teach your students how to do this quickly (and set that expectation) so that they can do it independently.

Starfall Sight Words

Though I’ve already included a Memory Sight Word game, who doesn’t love Starfall? In this sight word game, the students need to determine if it is the same sight word by sight alone as it is not read until the match is made. But I love that they have three stars in the upper left corner to show their progress to the next level.

Once the student completes the game, they can move on to Level 2, where the sight words are slightly more difficult. The students love moving up a level to show their achievement!

My Reading Tools

In My Reading Tools, students see a kangaroo get several tools to become a better reader. The first tool is a flashlight. He uses it to highlight words in a dark cave.

This game is more challenging than the rest because students are asked to finish the sentence with the word spelled correctly. The computer reads the sentence. Then students hover their flashlight around the cave to find the word. 🔦

In this example, I was looking for the word “again.” The other options in the cave were misspelled words “agin,” “agane,” etc. This game is perfect for students who are confidently reading many sight words and are ready for a challenge!

These 10 online games to teach sight words are perfect for giving students extra practice and lots of repetition during centers in my classroom. Did I miss any of your favorites? How do you like to practice sight words? Let me know below! 👇

How to teach a child the alphabet with the help of games

How to quickly learn the letters of the Russian alphabet with a child? Just invite him to play! The game is the best form of learning for children, where the child is always involved in the process and quickly learns the material. We have prepared for you a selection of 7 simple games for learning letters. Your child will have fun and easily memorize the letters of the Russian alphabet.

1. Catch Game

You will need plastic bottle caps, corrector or nail polish. Write letters on the lids, let dry and you can play.

⠀

With this game, your child will not only memorize the letters, but also practice manual dexterity and play enough with water - after all, all children love to frolic in the water.

⠀

Pour water into any container and put the lids with the letters there. Give the child a spoon or net and let him catch the letters in turn, name and remember.

⠀

If your child does not know a single letter yet, then call the “catch” yourself first and ask the child to repeat.

2. Letter Quest

This is a mobile and very fun game that helps develop imagination and memorize letters quickly. Here, too, there may be different options, depending on your imagination.

⠀

You will need stickers, markers and a primer. Write letters on sticky notes and stick around the house. For example: "K" - on a chest of drawers, "L" - on a spoon, "C" - on a washing machine, etc.

⠀

Then take the primer and show the child the letter to be found. Let him repeat after you and go in search. When the desired letter is found, ask the child to name it again, and then name the object that begins with it.

⠀

For children who already know letters, syllables can be glued at home according to the same principle.

3. Walkers

You will need a clean sheet of paper, a ruler, colored markers and a cube with glasses. Draw a square on the sheet, draw it into 35 small squares. In the lower left corner, write "Start" and draw a line from it with a light felt-tip pen to the "Finish", which will be in the middle. Then from "Start" to "Finish" write the letters "A" to "Z" in alphabetical order.

⠀

The game is ready. Now take turns throwing a cube with glasses with your child and walk. If the child still does not know how to count, help him, and call the letters that both of you will drop out together.

4. Puzzle letters

Collecting puzzles, children develop logic, attention, memory and imagination. And by collecting puzzle letters, the alphabet is memorized much faster.

⠀

You will need unused cardboard packaging from toys or any other items. Choose with your child suitable large letters on the package and cut them out. Then draw with a marker on the back of the line, so that you get the details of the puzzle and let the child cut it out. The more details you get, the more complex the puzzle will be.

⠀

Then shuffle the pieces and have your child reassemble the letter. And when he collects it, let him loudly name it and the words that he knows with this letter.

⠀

If there are no boxes at home, then just draw a big letter on a piece of paper, color it and also cut it into pieces - the puzzle is ready.

⠀

You can also download our best letter learning games.

5. What letter does it begin with

This game not only helps to learn letters, but also develops logical thinking.

⠀

You will need: any household items and letters of different colors (you can take magnetic ones) or cardboard cards with letters.

⠀

Anything can be taken from items: dishes, fruits, vegetables, clothes, etc. Put all this in front of the child, select the letters you need and put them in a pile next to it.

⠀

Next, pointing to the object, ask the child: “What is this?” He answers: “Bananas”, and you: “What letter do bananas begin with?” If the child answers, ask him to find his letter "B" in a pile and put it next to the bananas.

⠀

Help the child if at first it is difficult for him to find the right letters on his own.

6. What does the letter look like

This game will help the child quickly reinforce each new letter.

⠀

For example, you are teaching the letter “A” with your child. Ask what item it looks like. If he can’t immediately answer, fantasize about this topic together. Ask leading questions and let the child answer. For example: “The letter “A” looks like a tree? Or maybe it looks like a house? etc. Try to play association on the street, where you are surrounded by many different objects.

⠀

If you do not live in a Russian-speaking country, then let the child look for familiar letters in his books.

7. Letters on the walk

Learn the Russian alphabet right on the street. In the fresh air in the game, any information is absorbed faster.

⠀

Everything that is around is useful to you: sticks, pebbles, moss or shells. Write any letter on the ground or sand with a stick and ask the child to lay out the same one next to it. To begin with, you can practice laying out the letters along the drawn outline, and then try to lay them out yourself.

⠀

Do not forget to say all the letters out loud together and move on to a new letter only after the child remembers the previous one.

⠀

Children choose words themselves.

- hard, voiced consonant.

is a soft, voiceless consonant.

18. Chorus of vowels

(vowel sounds)

The teacher names the words. Children in chorus pronounce only vowel sounds without stress, then with stress. Words are chosen such that there is no difference between sounds and letters. When performing the task, the sounds are not fixed by letters.

IV. Use of game situations and poetic texts. When getting acquainted with sounds, the correlation of speech sounds with the sounds of the surrounding world is used. U - a locomotive hums, A - Alenka cries, P - a dog growls, etc. To form a sound-letter connection, to assimilate the visual image of letters, entertaining poetic texts are used that help to correlate a sound or letter with objects of the surrounding world.

Poems have always made it possible to master this or that topic with ease and with interest. They especially occupy the reader with the unusual construction and sound. Zhurzhina Sh.V. and N.V. Kostromina offer many such fascinating didactic tasks.

✱✱✱

— What sounds are repeated most often here

The word rumbles,

Like thunder.

Say it softer:

SIX MICE

And immediately the mice will rustle.

(A. Barto)

Notice!

Writers use the repetition of sounds or combinations of sounds to create artistic images.

✱✱✱

The letters got lost.

The snow is melting, the stream is flowing,

the branches are full of doctors.

Misha didn't cut firewood,

heated the stove with caps.

There are no roads in the swamp,

I like cats - lope and lope.

The cauldron gored me,

I am very angry with him.

- Write down the words in which the letters got lost. Write a word next to it.

Psychologists have proven that knowledge acquired without interest, not colored by one's own positive attitude, emotions, does not become useful - this is dead weight. Amusement can be given by an unexpected formulation of a question, the creation of a problem situation, an unusual form of conducting a lesson. The tasks that are given below are taken from the book by V.V. Volina "Learning by playing."

Grammar tales.

Frog and Elephant

Once upon a time there was a Frog. A frog is like a frog. Little frog. Small, but of three syllables! FROG.

And there was an Elephant! Big-big! And only from one syllable ELEPHANT. And it's all!

And the little Frog teased the big Elephant.

But came from the swamp TsAP-LA of two syllables. And she swallowed LA-GUSH-KU from three syllables. All!

Why did the Beetle drive away the Spider?

Crawling Beetle. Look - the beast is not a beast...

- Who are you?

- Spider.

- Spider? Shh!

— How so — shoo?!

- And like this: shoo and that's it.

Beetle - bold. And that one is a coward, sniffing through a crack!..

Well, friend, what is the point here?

What's the salt, huh?

(Answer: all the words in the story are monosyllabic, except for the word spider, which has two syllables.)

Rhyming exercises.

If we know syllables,

Let's not get confused by the word.

We will transfer it,

We will go along the line again.

Knowing the rules of all transfer,

We will not be left with a nose!

Talk about the syllable.

A syllable is one or more sounds pronounced with one expiratory push. This is easy to check if you pronounce the word in front of a burning candle: kos-mo-navt - the flame will oscillate three times, and when pronouncing the last stressed syllable, it may even go out. But in ordinary speech we do not notice these shocks, since one syllable continuously follows another during a conversation. In Russian (as in other languages), vowels are syllabic.

How many vowels are in the word -

So many syllables.

Everyone knows this

Of the students.

Linguistic tasks.

1. There is one sound in a word. What is it: a vowel or a consonant?

2. There are two sounds in a word. What are these sounds?

3. There are three sounds in a word. How many vowels? How many consonants?

4. There are four sounds in a word. How many consonants does it have? Why?

5. There are consonants and one vowel in the word. How many syllables are there in a word? Name these words -

6. There are three consonants and three vowels in the word. How many syllables can this word be divided into? Give examples of such words.

7. There are two sounds in a word. How many syllables?

8. In the words wedge, clown, three consonants each. How many syllables are in each word and why?

9. What was the name of the sad donkey from Alan Milne's fairy tale "Winnie the Pooh and Everything"? What was the name of the baby kangaroo, the son of Kanga's mother? Write down the names of both heroes (Eeyore, Ru). How many syllables are in these names and why?

10. There are three sounds in the word cat and three sounds in the word meow. Is the number of syllables in these words the same? Explain why.

11. Flowers

Postcards with flowers are on the teacher's desk. You must first choose those of them that depict flowers with monosyllabic names, then those consisting of two syllables, three, etc.

(Flowers can be: poppy, rose, gladiolus, lilac, carnation, lily, magnolia, aster, lily of the valley, violet, forget-me-not, etc.)

WORD TRANSFER

Funny poems.

Grammar tale.

Soft sign and hyphenation rules

Soft sign is friendly with different letters.

In words skates, days, stumps - with I, in words droplets, loops, coals - with L. But for some reason not with K.

K appears only after a soft sign. He tried several times to get up after her, but K wouldn't let him. Well, it doesn't allow it, so be it. And then, in the end, he came to terms with this and even became friends with K. “It’s even very good for me to stand between the two letters L and K. We will be friends forever and never part, it will be more fun for me!”

But one day a girl began to write these words in a notebook. It came down to coals. The word does not fit. What to do? The girl broke the word into syllables: u-gol-ki and decided to move the coals. The soft sign got worried, got agitated, did not want to part with the letter K. He began to ask: “Do not separate from K, please!”

- How else?

- U-golki, - asked for a soft sign.

This is not possible. I can not. We have strict rules, they don’t allow it,

- Then the corners, - again asks for a soft sign.

- That's not possible. Not by the rules.

- Then coals.

— What are you? What you? Is it possible? It turns out that you don't know the rules of transfer at all.

So the soft sign had to part with his girlfriend.

Grammar tales and stories.

The vowels quarreled

One day A and O were walking in the forest picking berries. And suddenly they quarreled so much that even the birds scattered, the animals fled, the trees drooped - everyone felt ashamed of them, it was disgusting to listen to how they cursed.

Why did they suddenly quarrel? The fact is that when O or A stand without stress, then each wants to take the place of the other. And so it begins...

Fortunately, the magician Accent came to the rescue. As soon as he strikes a vowel with a magic wand, it is immediately heard clearly and there can be not even the slightest doubt about its spelling. Children who passed by and also picked berries learned about this. They really wanted to make friends with the wizard so that they could always write vowels correctly. They agreed to always call him for help when unstressed vowels A and O occur in words (and others too, for example E - I).

Since then, children have been writing correctly, and vowels have not quarreled. And why should they quarrel if there is a magician Accent! You just need to call him for help in time. And you guys call him too when you're in doubt about what letter to write. He will always help!

Magician - Emphasis

Words once gathered for advice, they began to say how useful and significant they are. But they forgot to invite words to their advice Emphasis. And it was very offended. When the words began to come out, the Accent suddenly jumped out from somewhere and screamed:

— What do you mean without me? If I want, I'll take it and change the values ​​of some of you!

Words, of course, were not believed. Zamok stepped forward and said:

- I am not afraid of you, I am so strong and heavy that I can cope with some kind of Accent. After all, Emphasis is just a dash!

The stress got angry and suddenly jumped from the last syllable to the first, and the Castle disappeared, and Zmok appeared before everyone's eyes. The words were noisy. Then came forward Squirrels to said:

- We are the most important parts of any living organism, and the Emphasis will not do anything with us.

The accent smiled slyly and moved to another syllable: everyone saw that they were living, graceful Squirrels. The words began to resent, to shame the Emphasis, but it continued to prove its significance. The stress on the words jumped, and now instead of Atlas it turned out to be Atlas, instead of Kάpel Capel, instead of Road - Roads, City - Cities. And how many more such words have been chosen by the Emphasis on its way! They see the words that things are bad - they cannot do without the Emphasis! They gave him a place of honor at their meeting and since then they have been treating Stress with great respect.

Arrows and carnations

KVN was held at the school between the fourth grades. The turn has come to the competition of captains. The facilitator wrote the words arrows and carnations on the board and offered to draw the named objects. When the captains showed their drawings, everyone laughed because the drawings were different. Why do you think?

One boy drew a soldier with weapons in his hands and small nails. And another in the drawings had a watch with thin hands and beautiful carnation flowers. The host asked the captains why it happened? The captains, in general, were not at a loss, they explained everything as it should. Only they should have guessed about it earlier - this was the competition.

Guess what? Yes, that in each of the written words there are two hidden ones that are written the same way, but are pronounced differently, since the stress in these words falls on different syllables: arrows - arrows, carnations - carnations.

Emphasis

(miniature)

Curtain opens. Room. The boy is in bed.

- So I want to go to school as soon as possible. You need to take medicine. Takes a bottle of medicine. Reads: three times a week by

one tablespoon. After eating. Starts to squeak. Mom runs.

— What happened, son? Why are you squeaking?

— And I took the medicine. And here it is written ... (reads).

- Oh, you fool. Because you read it wrong. Three times after meals, not meals.

— Oh, Mommy. The teacher told us at school that the meaning of a word can change from a rearrangement of stress.

Curtain.

Rhyming exercises

And now about stress

Let's compose a poem..

Stressed syllable, stressed syllable...

He doesn't call it that for nothing.

Hey invisible hammer,

Hit him.

And the hammer knocks, knocks,

And my speech sounds clear.

Follow the command of the hammer.

Hold a hundred in your hands, mischievous!

He is a joker, an invisible hammer,

Knock! - and hit an unstressed syllable...

... And immediately the huge CASTLE disappeared,

And a little CASTLE appeared...

- Listen, hammer, don't mix up the syllables,

Playing naughty again, don't lie...

No, again - knock! Suddenly, PIROGS floated instead of them!

Talk about stress.

Stress is like the beating of the heart. But we do not remember it until someone distorts the word by incorrect placement of stress - it immediately loses its rhythmic pulse, and sometimes both meaning and grammatical form.

Stress is the musical tone to which the word is tuned. But the assimilation of stress in Russian is associated with a number of difficulties:

1. It is free, it is not attached to any particular syllable in a word (as in some other languages ​​of the world).

2. It is movable and changes its place depending on the shape.

3. Russian accent also characterizes variability over time. If we open the works of Krylov, Griboedov, Pushkin, Lermontov, Nekrasov and other Russian poets, we will find there many words pronounced with a different accent than in modern Russian.

The definition of stressed syllable, strangely enough, causes difficulties for younger students, although they pronounce this or that word with the correct stress.

How to find stress in a word? Yes, very easy! The stressed syllable is pronounced with greater force and duration in the voice. It is necessary, as it were, to sing or call out to an object (even if it is inanimate):

- Book-and-and-burn! Ru-u-u-chka! De-e-e-vochka!

We hope that this simple trick will help kids to easily find stressed and unstressed syllables in words.

Linguistic tasks.

1. Put the stress in pairs of words that have the same spelling.

2. Put and remember the accents.

Be careful with us: We gore with horns. (Goats - goats) V. Use of didactic games. Didactic games are of great importance in the process of speech therapy work, which is primarily due to the fact that their main goal is teaching. During the didactic game, the child must correctly complete the task proposed by the speech therapist, and the game situation, fairy-tale character, toy help him in this. It is important that each of the games has a relatively complete structure and includes the main structural elements: game task, game actions, rules and the result of the game. Purpose: formation of the skill of elementary sound analysis of words. Tasks: development of the ability to select words for a four-, five-, six-, seven-sound conditional symbolic model. Fix the correct pronunciation of the given sounds. Development of skills to perform sound analysis of words; distinguish between hard and soft consonants, stressed unstressed vowels. Formation of gender identity, education of a respectful attitude towards the opposite sex. Guidelines. At the initial stage, starting from the age of five, the concepts of “vowels” and “consonants” sounds and the corresponding symbols (square and circle without color) are introduced. Next, children are introduced to the division of consonant sounds into soft and hard (green square - soft consonant sound, blue square - hard consonant sound). At the final stage, the concepts and designations of "stressed" and "unstressed" vowels are introduced (red circle - stressed vowels, green circle - unstressed vowels). This game is used as a teaching aid for organizing educational activities in preparation for learning to read and write, and in independent extracurricular activities of children. Description of the game. An adult acquaints children with the silhouettes of a boy and a girl and offers to choose clothes for them according to the conditionally symbolic model of the word given by the adult. Option No. 1: an adult offers children to pick up an element of the missing clothing (trousers) for the girl according to a conditional-symbolic model of the word, composed by an adult of five sounds. Option 2: the adult offers to choose clothes for the boy and girl according to the given models, which are entered alternately (a skirt for a girl and shorts for a boy, etc.). Option No. 3: Children are invited to independently conceive conditional-symbolic models of words in order to choose clothes for a boy and a girl. Having mastered the technique of the game, children use it in independent activities, a variant of a pair or group game is possible. Legend hard, consonant, voiced soft, consonant, voiceless Vowel Didactic game. Syllable by syllable Purpose of the game: to consolidate the skill of dividing words into syllables. Each player has a sheet of paper and a pencil. One of the participants in the game names a word consisting of two or more syllables. Everyone writes down this word. Then each must write a chain of words so that the last syllable of the previous word is the initial syllable of the next. The winner is the one who first writes 10 words (15, etc. - by condition). An example of a syllabic chain: ya-ma, ma-shi-na, na-tu-ra, ra-ke-ta, ta-rel-ka, ka-sha, etc. Didactic games and exercises. 1. On a certain topic, for example, SCHOOL, the participants of the game write down two-syllable words with stress on the first syllable (school, desk, pen), then on the second syllable (textbook, pencil case), and then on the third (student, change).
