Sight word books set 20: Transportation

This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Today I’m sharing a set of free transportation sight word readers.

Get these set of FREE transportation sight word readers at The Measured Mom.

What are my sight word readers?

  • They’re free printable books that you can use to help your child or students learn to read.
  • Each set of four books is created around a particular theme.  You can see all 20 themes here.
  • The sets begin very simple and gradually get more difficult.
  • Each set introduces a new sight word.  This set’s new word is “go.”

Get these set of FREE transportation sight word readers at The Measured Mom.

Who should read my sight word readers?

  • These books are designed for very early readers ages 3-6.
  • For the early sets, children need to know the difference between a letter and word, know their alphabet and some sounds, and match spoken words with print.
  • Now that we’re on set 20, children should have a small sight word vocabulary, know all their letter sounds, and be able to use what they know about phonics to figure out unknown words.  They should also be able to use picture and context clues to figure out the more challenging words.

What do the sight word readers look like?

This graphic lets you see all six pages of the book Trucks Can Go.

Get these set of FREE transportation sight word readers at The Measured Mom.

  • The books often have repeating text. (In this case, “the _____ can go.”)
  • The pictures are bright and simple.
  • The pictures are clues to help children figure out unknown words.
  • There are just 1-2 sentences per page.
  • The text is large and clear.

How can you help your child read one of my sight word readers?

  • Give prompts to help.
    • Use the picture to help you.
    • Does the first letter of that word match what you said?
    • Did that sound right?
    • Skip to the end of the sentence and come back to that word.
  • Acknowledge what he or she does well.
    • That was a tough word, but you figured it out by using the picture. Good for you!
    • That didn’t make sense, but you went back to fix it.  Great job!
  • Encourage your child to use more advanced reading knowledge as he or she is able.
    • Are you stuck? Try the first chunk of that word.
    • Do you see the “s” at the end of the word?  Try saying it again.
    • Sometimes if you’re stuck it helps to start back at the beginning of the sentence.
    • That sentence ends with an exclamation point. Show me how it sounds when you read that.

How to assemble

  • Print pages 2-9 front to back (page 1 is my Terms of Use).  Print in color or grayscale.
  • Cut across the horizontal center of each page.
  • Insert one set of pages into the other, paying attention to the page numbers.
  • Staple with a  long-armed stapler.

Check out the rest of our collection!

IMPORTANT NOTICE As I study more about how children’s brains learn to read, I’m revising my approach. In good conscience, I can no longer share these sight word books because they do not align with best practice. These will be removed form my site and shop on March 23. Please download any files you would like by that date.

    We have so enjoyed this series! At the risk of sounding ungrateful (which I am most definitely not) Are you going to make any more? If not, do you know of any good resources for the next step? Thanks!!

      Thank you, Shanna! (Shanna Mae?) Yes, I do have plans to make more, but I’m taking a little break this summer in order to get ahead on the alphabet, which LOTS of people would like to see finished! My plan is to share the next set at the beginning of September. As for something like these for the next step, I don’t really know of anything that’s free. Reading A-Z has awesome printable books for kids, which I use with my own children. It’s about $100 a year for unlimited downloads and is the very best I’ve seen. If you decide to try it or want more information, you can ask me. You can have fun looking at it because you can preview every book even without a membership. Super high quality stuff!

        Like the option of unlimited downloads. I will definitely be considering this for my granddaughter in 6 mths. Great price too! 😀

    Dear Anna,
    Words are unable to express how much we appreciate the time and effort you put into you sight and all that you share freely with others. You are a true blessing from God to our family. My grandson son will turn 4 on Friday, We are so proud of him as he is almost 2 years ahead of his pears in his education. I’ve had to tailor his curriculum due to his fine motor skills development, ADHD, intense impulses control issues and some tactile sensitivity issues. Having been a Pre-K & Kinder teacher in private sector over 25 yrs ago, I know that we are blessed because he doesn’t show any learning disabilities at this time, but demonstrates the opposite. He scares most adults with his reading level, proficiency on computers, phones, I-pads, robots & programmable remotes. You and others with like sights have enabled us to give him a jump start before he enters the public school system and kept the cost of curriculum affordable for our family. I would <3 to see future post on references to books and other sights for parents of special needs children. Thank you for everything you do and will do. God Bless!

      Hello, Leann! Thank you so much for your kind comment. As it turns out, a lot of people use my site as a resource for children with special needs, but I do not (yet) have training in that area. There are SO many sites written by parents of kids with special needs, however. What type of education blog are you specifically looking for? I can ask in my network and give you some recommended sites.

      Hi Wendy!
      I actually chose sight words for my books in order based on a preschool reading series that we use, not the Dolch sight word list. So what you see here is all I have right now: https://www.themeasuredmom.com/shop/

    I think these are great! Do you have a different version of Set 20? It has security encryption that won’t allow for printing. I found it is only on this one.
