Students receive pages with the words outlined in block letters. Students can then color each letter and/or practice writing and saying the words. There are also raised letters on the back of some flash cards for students to trace with their fingers.

Another fun way of learning sight words is to use shaving cream and a finger. Spray some shaving cream on a slick surface and have students write the sight word in the shaving cream using their finger. To "erase" all you have to do is smear some more shaving cream.

Another idea is to use the game scrabble. Students could use the letter blocks to build their sight words in the form of a game.

Title: Tactual Sight Word Activities

Block Letters: Students receive paper with various sight words in outlined block letters. Each student has markers or crayons. The teacher asks the students to color in a certain sound with a certain color. After all the words are colored, the students go back and pronounce the word while underlining it.

Matching Game: Students receive a copy of a picture-word matching game. The teacher instructs them to cut out the four pictures and four words and match each word to its corresponding picture.

Bingo: Students each receive a bingo card with sight words. The announcer picks a word and letter from a hat or box and continues until someone gets a bingo. The first student to get a bingo gets to be the announcer. Word Book: Each week, the teacher introduces four new sight words. Students write each word on a page of their book and decorate each page however they would like.
