Explore the tricky parts in sight words with this set of 20 printable sight word mini books.
Explore and Master Tricky Sight Words with Mini Books
Sight words are tricky—they often don’t follow standard phonics rules, and children need time and multiple exposures to really master them. Our 20 Sight Word Mini Books give students exactly that: hands-on, engaging practice that goes beyond rote memorization.
Each mini book focuses on a single sight word—words like all, as, are, at, his, said, one, not, her, had, have, he, so, with, on, they, you, but, for—and includes a variety of fun activities designed to help students truly understand and explore each word.
What’s Inside Each Mini Book
Students will:
- Rainbow Colour It: Write the word using different colours for each letter
- Count It: Count the number of letters
- Circle It: Identify and circle the word in a selection of words
- Trace It: Practice forming the word correctly
- Fix It: Fill in the missing letters
- Box It: Break the word into individual letter boxes
- Find It: Search for the word in a group of words
