Teacher tip

Sort the cards into “got it” and “still learning” piles each week.

How to use it

  • Play it again later in the week with a different partner. Repeat play builds speed.
  • Keep a sight word ring of flash cards so kids can check spellings.
  • Send a copy home so families can play too.

Watch for

Kids who read the words in order from memory. Point to words out of order to check.

Talk about it

  • Can you find one of these words in a book from the class library?
  • Which words look alike? How do you tell them apart?

Take it further

Play a quick round of “flash and read” with the words at the end of the day.
