Sight Word Sentence Detective

Children search short, meaningful sentences for target words and use each sentence to show that the word was truly read.

Today I am practising: recognizing sight words in connected sentences

Read: I see a red hen. Circle I and draw what you see.

Read: We can hop. Underline we and act out the sentence.

Read: The dog can run. Box the and tell what can run.

Read: Come to the rug. Circle come and point where you would go.

Read: I like jam. Underline like and draw a food you like.

Write one sentence using the, I, or we. Circle the sight word you used.

Grown-up note: Ask your learner to explain one answer in their own words.

For the grown-up

How to teach this page

Step 1Invite one smooth reread after the child identifies the word; do not turn the task into a race.
Step 2Ask a meaning question after every sentence so circling is tied to comprehension.
Step 3If a target is missed, point to it, say it together, and return to the beginning of the sentence.
