Sight Word Sticker Books

If you have children in the primary grades, you've heard of sight words. If not, you're missing out on a bunch of fun learning. (that statement is dripping in sarcasm) Alex and Gabriel have zero interest in sight words. I've tried many methods of teaching them these words but have not found a way to motivate them. Until I stumbled across this little gem. A teacher made a sight word sticker book. It's costs $2 for five books in a pdf file. My thrifty soul had a tough time paying the $2 but then I reminded myself that it's just $2, that's one dollar a kid for the creative works of a professional teacher.. not bad! This is the link to get to the book: http://firstgraderatlast.blogspot.com/2012/04/sight-word-sticker-book.html This will take you to the link to purchase the books.

Alex was so excited about this idea. He sounded out and quickly read many of the words. He didn't want to put it away for the night but wanted to keep working on it! It's been a long time since he's been that interested in learning, and he's never reacted this way to sight words. This was well worth the $2 investment. I used stickers to keep him motivated but Gabriel wanted to use a stamper marker, both worked fine.
