Roll A Sight Word: Idea #113

Is your student having difficulty with a few sight words? Every time they see those words do they draw a blank and get discouraged? Maybe you should try the Roll A Sight Word game. It is a great way to motivate your student to master those tough sight words. Here is what you do:

1.Print off a cube template. I found mine on the following website: http://www.freebeemom.com/2010/04/05/photo-cube/

2.  Fill in each box with a sight word that your student is currently struggling with in their reading. You could also write ANY words your student has difficulty reading.

3.  Cut out the cube and then tape it together.

4. Make a Roll A Sight Word worksheet. I have explained the worksheet to the right.

1- Title of the worksheet


2- Place for student to put name


3- Lines are for student to write in total number of times they rolled each word

4- This is where your student colors in the amount they rolled each word


5- The sight words


6- The color your student needs to color each sight word on the graph






5. This is what your student's worksheet may look like when it is completed:

I found this cute idea on the following blog: http://kindergartencrayons.blogspot.com/2011/03/roll-word-game-to-build-sight-word.html

  

6. To play the game all your student does is roll the sight word cube. The word that your student rolls, they need to read and then graph on their worksheet using the appropriate color. Once they have rolled one of the sight words seven times, the game is over. 

You can also play this with more than one student. The first one to roll a word seven times, wins. Have fun watching your student learn these words!
