Sight Word Sentence Strip Builder

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: ordering sight words in simple sentences

1

Put in order: can / I / hop. Copy the sentence with a period.

2

Build: the / cat / see / I. Read it and draw the cat.

3

Arrange: we / can / dig. Underline the sight word we.

4

Build: come / to / me. Add a period and read it to an adult.

5

Order: like / I / jam. Circle I, then copy the sentence.

6

Use the word cards I, we, can, and the to build your own sensible sentence.

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

How to teach this page

  1. Step 1Start with a known capital word or a picture clue, then encourage the child to reread after each move.
  2. Step 2Use a numbered copy instead of cutting if scissors are not a good fit for the learner.
  3. Step 3Prompt for a capital and period only after the words make sense in order.
