Sight Word Bracelets: Idea #164

Kids love bracelets. Especially the rubber ones that say things like: "WWJD" or "Just say no". Kids love to admire the beautiful bracelet on their wrist and show it to everyone. So, why not make something that your student will look at all time and help them learn sight words? Try to making a sight word bracelet. Here is what you do:

1. Cut out a strip of paper. I used white paper, but you can use whatever color you would like.


2. Make several boxes on your strip of paper. There should be enough boxes to write the sight words your student needs to practice. 


3. Write a different sight word in each box.


4. Color the strip of paper the way you desire. I drew shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day.


5. Staple or tape the ends of the strip together to make the bracelet. Make sure that the bracelet is not too tight or loose on your student's wrist.
Your student will love showing off the bracelet. Encourage people to ask your student to read a word on the bracelet. Your student will see the words all day and will practice reading them. What an excellent way to help with sight word reading!
