Glitter Sight Words: Idea #100

Kids LOVE glitter. Glitter is a great way to get kids excited about a sight word that they may be having difficulty with. I did this simple activity with my 1st graders about two years ago and they enjoyed it so much. Here is what you do:

1. Student writes sight word large on a piece of white paper (construction and cardstock work best). Make sure it is a sight word they are struggling with.

**When your student is writing the word, make sure they space out the letters or they won't be able to read the word with the glitter.**


2. Student traces word with glue (teacher may need to assist with this part).

3. Teacher pours glitter over the word. Once it is dry, hang up the word in a place your student can see it frequently and eventually take home.

 You could also try a glitter pen or multi colored glitter.

Have fun practicing sight words with your student!
