Learning to read and write is a complex process that requires many different skills. Although it is complex, it can be a joyful and empowering experience for children…

Mastering the letter sounds and how to sound out words are important aspects of learning how to read. Yet, there are certain words that just don’t “play fair.” These “unfair” words are not intuitively phonetic, which makes them very difficult to read and write. For these tricky words it is best for children to simply “memorize” them visually so that they can begin to automatically and successfully read and write them. Many of these words are frequently used in reading and writing, so it is helpful to give children a nice repertoire of words that they have mastered.

One simple way to achieve this is by playing sight word bingo. This game is appropriate for children who have already mastered all of the letter sounds and are starting to read simple words.

I had the idea to make a sight word bingo game using my daughters’ high frequency sight words. She came home a few days ago saying that she had so much fun playing bingo at school, but that she never wins.

My daughter’s teacher sent home a key ring of kindergarten sight words for her to practice at the beginning of the year. These are words that are high frequency and also include the most common colors. She loves practicing them everyday.

You can download the whole set below if you’d like. Here is the caller card which gives you an idea of what words are on it.

And here is one of the cards. The download file contains 12 different cards and the caller card.

You can use pennies to mark the words, or you can make it even more reusable by laminating the cards and the caller card and using a dry-erase marker to cross out the called words. The marker can then easily be wiped off to use over and over again.
