First Grade Snowman Sight Words Flash Cards

Sight words are the small, common words that show up on almost every page a child reads, such as could, when, from and know. Many of them do not follow the usual phonics rules, so children learn to read them at a glance. These First Grade Snowman Sight Words Flash Cards cover all 41 words on the Dolch first grade list in a cozy winter theme.

Each card shows one word in big, clear print with a cheerful snowman or red mitten in the corner. Hold up a card, let the child read it, and sort the cards into a Yes pile for words read quickly and a Not Yet pile for words to practice. When a word lands in the Yes pile, the child colors its box on the My Word Wall page, so progress is easy to see. A 1st Grade practice worksheet asks children to read the word in each snowball and circle the matching word among look-alikes such as then, when and went. These kindergarten christmas flash cards also work as a winter review for advanced kindergarten readers and as a quick check for 2nd Grade students.
