Print the set of cards that correspond with the grade of the student you are tutoring and cut the cards away from one another. You may want to laminate the cards to make them durable. This will help preserve them from little hands.  If the words are too easy, print the next grade up, and if they are too hard, print the grade below!

Ways to use sight word cards

1.  Turn the cards upside down, in a pile. Have the child pull one card, identify the word by reading and speaking the word, then write the word on a recording sheet. If you would like they could write the word multiple times. Move on to the next card when you are both ready.

​

2.  You could print two sets of flashcards and use them as a memory game. Start with as many words as you would like, 5, 10, or more. Turn the cards upside down, mix them up, and put them in even rows. Have the child pick two cards, if they match pull the cards from the game. At this time I like to have the child read the word and spell the word out. You could also incorporate a recording sheet and have the child write the word. If the two cards chosen do not match, turn them back over and the next person takes a turn. 

​

3.  Give the child a set of the sight word flash cards. Ask them to put them in alphabetical order. Ask the child to pick one or more sight word flashcards and create a sentence with them. This could be written on a recording sheet or just out loud.
