About this resource
Description
Bring the colors of autumn into reading time with this falling leaves sight words activity. Sight words, also called high frequency words, show up in almost every sentence a beginning reader meets. When children can read them quickly, they spend less energy sounding out and more energy understanding what they read.
Children read a short six-line fall poem, then put the cut-apart sentence strips back in order in a pocket chart or on the table. Next they pick up a leaf word card, find that word in the poem, and count how many times they see it on the Leaf Word Hunt sheet. A Kindergarten practice page asks them to circle the sight word that completes each sentence. This high frequency words activity works well in literacy centers, guided reading groups, or as a whole-class fall lesson.
What’s Included
- Cover page and a How to Use page for the teacher
- Illustrated Falling Leaves poem page
- 6 pocket-chart sentence strips on two cut sheets
- 12 Leaf Word Cards on two cut sheets
- Leaf Word Hunt recording sheet
- Kindergarten practice worksheet: circle the sight word
- Answer keys for the strips, the word hunt and the practice page
Why Kids Love It
- Bright leaf cards make word practice feel like a fall game.
- Building the poem line by line turns reading into a puzzle.
- Hunting for words in the poem helps children spot sight words anywhere.
Teaching Ideas
Read the poem together each morning for a week and let a different child point to each word. After the falling leaves sight words activity, scatter the leaf cards on the floor and call out a word for children to find, or have them use each leaf word in a new fall sentence.
