Sight word books

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 22. Please download any files you would like by that date. 

 

Download each set individually

You can find the post which shares each set of readers by clicking below.  When you get to the post, scroll to the bottom to download the set of readers.

 

 

More books!

After creating the first 26 sets to use alongside Reading the Alphabet, I had requests for more books, so I created additional sets.

Note: If your child is reading these books, s/he moving at a quicker pace.  For that reason, each set may introduce more than one new sight word.

 

How to assemble the readers

sight word reader assembly1

1. Print the readers front to back.  Each two-sided page is a single book.  Cut across the horizontal center of the book.

2. Fold the two half sheets and insert the middle pages.

3. Unfold and staple with a long arm stapler.

    Hi,
    I was wondering if there was anywhere I could still access the old sight word books. I completely get that you have new ones, but I used the old books for my SEI students who did not have any language. The first several are great to help them learn new vocabulary words, and throw in the bonus of sight words that do not translate. Is there any way to still get these?

    Hi Anna. Thank you for all of the time and effort that you put into all of these wonderful resources! I have just downloaded the emergent readers and love them. However, after I printed out sets 1-5 and then went to cut them I half, I noticed that some of the pages were misaligned. They were to far down/up on the page so when I cut them in half part of the picture or word would be cut off. This is especially true for the booklets that have a two line title. Is this something that can fixed so I can use all of the stories that you created? Not sure if anyone else has had this happen or if it is something on my end. Thank you again for all of your time and effort. It is truly appreciated.

      You are the first to mention this, so I suspect it has to do with how you’re printing. Could you try again with a single set by opening and printing with Adobe Reader? If it’s still an issue, comment again, and I will check it out. Thanks! This is where you can download Adobe for free: https://get.adobe.com/reader/

        Thanks for your quick response. I re-downloaded Adobe through your link in case there are any new updates and printed a booklet out. My test run with a single sheet of regular paper worked perfect so I put in a small stack of cardstock and reprinted the same 2 pages. It came out misaligned again which is very confusing as to why. I then tried it again using only a single sheet of cardstock and this time it came out perfect. Not sure why it doesn’t print correctly when putting in more that 1 sheet though. Thanks for your help!

However, there seemed to be some issues downloading individually the sight word books from sight word ‘my’ onwards. I have been redirected to a blank page with message “AN ELITE CAFEMEDIA FAMILY & PARENTING PUBLISHER”. Do you wish to check this out?

      The original poster may not see this, but I am leaving this reply for others with the same question. If for some reason you cannot print double-sided (or if you forget to change the settings and don’t have enough ink to re-print, which is how I figured this out), just print the file single-sided. Cut each page into four little pages, stack each book’s pages in order, and staple on the sides to make a sort of flip book. It’s ugly but functional.

    Thanks so much for the sight word readers. I’ve been using them as I homeschool my daughters. I love the approach of teaching them in the context of reading, not just a flashcard. We’ve completed every set with much success. I was wondering if you are going to continue to make them? Thanks, Lindsay

      Hi Lindsay! My goal is to make a complete second set, but I’m afraid that I don’t have a time frame on that. The challenge is that none of my kids are ready for them right now. They are too easy for my three oldest kids, and our fourth (a preschooler) is at the very beginning and not ready for the new sets I would create. So, yes, I do plan to make more, but they may not be ready for your daughters when they’d need them. Sorry about that!

They all print fine, except on the cover page, I get the words and the illustration, but then I get a bunch of crazy squiggly lines behind the picture and covering the title text. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks for your help. I just shared your sight with my team members 🙂

    Hi Anna,
    I’m trying to find fun activities to play with my 5 year-old girl in this summer time but also help her be ready for kindergarten too. I don’t like to write comments but I’m so thankful I found your blog and I need to say thank you to you. Your work is amazing. I’ve been in US for 5 years and English is not my mother’s language so it’s hard to teach my little girl because I don’t know where to start. I started downloading free printable sheets and she really enjoyed it with me last night. If you have any suggestion for a 5 years old girl as a teacher, please let me know.

    Anyway, we are in the middle of an informational reading unit – and I was wondering if you’d thought about maybe writing some informational emergent readers? Just a thought 🙂

I actually have at least ten nonfiction readers in each of my theme packs (All About Me, Fall, Winter, etc.), but only one of each is available for free (see my Free Printables page). This is something I enjoy doing and would like to think more about adding to the free collection. If you send me an e-mail with some suggested themes and more about what you and other kindergarten teachers could use, that would be helpful! It’s anna@themeasuredmom.com.

I am a first time homeschool mom who is currently homeschooling my two girls (age 5 & 3) in Hong Kong. Since English is my second language, even I got an American husband, I am still learning how American learn and study English.
    Anyways, I and my girls LOVE your sight-word book collection. My 5 years old love to read and learn. and her ability to read has increased a lot. I hope there is some kind of activities to enhance the learning as well. If there is any, please let me know.
    Thanks,

      You’re very welcome! I highly recommend This Reading Mama’s “Reading the Alphabet” curriculum. I designed these books to go alongside it. You can get all the parts for free or pay a small fee to get it all bundled and get some bonus material.

      I wrote a review of it here: https://www.themeasuredmom.com/preschool-reading-curriculum/

      Hello to Hong Kong! We lived there for a semester while my husband taught there. We lived in the Mei Foo apartments. It was challenging with three little kid (baby, 2, and 3 years old at the time), but it was an exciting adventure!

      I have “made it impossible” to print directly from the pdf link because other sites are stealing my files and hosting them. I certainly want everyone to have access to my free files, or I wouldn’t spend hour upon hour creating them. Please check to see if one of these fixes works for you. https://www.themeasuredmom.com/how-to-download-free-files/

        By the way, the “save link as” option should work if you save it as a file and then email it to yourself. You just don’t want to save the link that starts with http://www.themeasuredmom.com. That’s called hotlinking, and my host prevents that because of all the theft.

      No, as it says in the product description, this is a digital file. 🙂 But it will save you a ton of time downloading each individual file! Plus they’ll all be in one, easy-to-find place. If I were going to print and send them, they’d be a lot more than $10 ;).

    Thank you for a terrific website! I don’t normally leave comments on blogs, but felt that you deserved to know how much I appreciate the time, energy, and effort that you’ve put into your website! I am using many of the resources in my summer school class. The students all receive special education and range from non-readers to emergent readers. I was not given any money for supplies, so to come across your website with all of its free materials was extremely fortunate for me, the assistants for whom I have to create lesson plans, and the children who will benefit tremendously! Thank you!

      Hello, Kelly,

      Yes I do have plans for those words, but not for quite a while yet. I probably will not be publishing too many new sets over the summer – things get very busy at our house with my husband’s giant garden! So, yes, they’re coming, but they’re likely quite a few months out yet.

Thank you again for these awesome books 🙂

      Hi Noraan! I think for preschool it would be best to do these in order. For older children who are already reading quite a bit it wouldn’t matter as much. You will probably find that some of them are ready to move more quickly than others. I’d encourage you to let them go at their own pace. The middle and later sets were hard for my son when he was 3, but now that he’s 4 (close to 5) he’s doing really well them.

    I really love your books and all the things you propose!
    I have a question: why do you use lowercase letters instead of capital letters for little children?
    is there a theory about teaching reading to little ones that is preferible to teach lowercase rather than capital letters?
    thanks.

    ps: I hope my question is understandable, I’m from italy and I’m trying to improve my english…

      Hello, Marina! I think for very young children (18 months – 2 years), capital letters are best to start with when teaching them to recognize letters. But when children are ready to read simple books they’re also ready to recognize but upper and lowercase letters. Plus, since all other books they’re going to try to read will use lowercase letters, it makes sense to put those in mind too. I’m doing a letter of the week with my 3 year old and teaching upper and lowercase letters at the same time. He’s recognizing all the uppers as I teach them and some of the lowers. He’s not ready to read yet, but when he is I think he’ll know them both.

        I’m a teacher in a pubblic infantry school (3 to six years old). we usually introduce only capital letters, preferring to leave lowercases to the next level of education. but maybe I could reconsider this thing…

        GREAT JOB YOU ARE DOING! THANKS THANKS THANKS

Scroll down to the end of the post, and you will see something like “Get your free books HERE.” Click on the word HERE, and you should be all set.

It is perfect because my little guy can learn his letters and sounds wile big brother can learn the beginner reading. These readers with be a perfect addition to our homeschool preschool.

      Hi Emily! They are designed to work double sided. You could always print the even pages (page 1 is my Terms of Use) and then reinsert into your printer and print the odd pages beginning with page 4. If you don’t want to do that, you can print as is, cut the pages apart, and staple. That will be quite time-consuming, though!

      Hi Shaya, Reading the Alphabet is very good, but it is designed for kids who speak English, not for a second language preschool like yours. I can see that it would be too difficult and move at too rapid a pace for your purposes. I do think it is helpful if kids know all or most of the alphabet before using it. For your students I would first focus on learning the letters and their sounds in fun ways. You can also start with a VERY simple sight word vocabulary. I did email you a link to the Dolch sight word lists which you can start with.

I have been printing and using your emergent readers for awhile now and for some reason can not get the newest one ~ #17 “up”. It won’t “highlight” on your page like all the others do and so it will not allow me to access that book. Can you help?

    Hi,
    I love these! I ended up using a paper cutter, are there directions for folding these somewhere?
    Thanks!

      Hello! I think at the end of each post I share how to assemble the books. After you cut across the horizontal center of the pages, fit the pages together according to the page numbers. Staple with a long armed stapler and fold. Hope that makes sense!

      Hi Beth,
      Can you tell me which one you’re having trouble with? When you click on the link to the readers, you need to go all the way down to the end of the post to get the readers. It will say something like

      Get the readers here …. and then has something underlined in green, like “Measured Mom Emergent Readers Set 1.” Click on that and you should be able to print. Let me know if this helps and if you still need help!

    Good Day Anna! Thank you for sharing your resources with your audience of readers here! I am wondering about WHERE TO START with this Reading the Alphabet and Reading stuff itself. My LO has developmental delays but is fine to be in a regular classroom. They’re slight delays. I have a long story but, would just first like to know if you could point me in the right direction with assisting her in learning the alphabet by SIGHT (outside of the “letter a week” activities we already do. she gets bored with those) so that I will be able to monitor her Reading at Home, outside of school. I want to have her ready for her second year in Kindergarten (called Senior Kindergarten here in Canada) where she will be attending a regular classroom and bused to School like her friends. Now shes in a Daycare Ctr Junior Kindergarten Program per-say where they use the guidelines for learning but its NOT all learning all the time. I don’t see her producing the work her friends do that go to a regularly schooled Junior Kindergarten Program. (Due to her Developmental Delays she could NOT have gone there this year) Anyway, What is the specific Post you think I should start at for her learning the Alphabet by sight, then moving forward to Sight WORDS later….What order should I work in? Maybe you could Email Me: Jeaniney25@hotmail.com ???
    Soo many thanks for your valuable time and energy in responding ;D
    Sincere thanks, Jeanine from Canada Your new follower

    I just recently found your blog and I love it! Quick question about these printable books. Is this the level you start your kids? These seem a bit advanced for beginning readers. I am a preschool teacher and I’m looking for something to start reading with my 4 and 5 year olds.

      Hi Megan,
      I start with the very first set when I begin teaching my kids to read (just 2 words per page). In my experience, my own kids are ready to memorize a few sight words and figure out words with pictures cues before they are ready to sound out words. I definitely recommend Reading the Alphabet (see image in my sidebar), which is by a mother and reading specialist. My sight word readers follow her curriculum, but they do advance much more quickly than hers do.

      Alongside the readers I do beginning sounds activities and then reading with word families (see my printables page for those) as my kids are ready. My own children are usually read to start sounding out around age 4, but it’s a while before it gets easy for them.

      I don’t believe in starting reading with just decodable books (such as Bob Books) because all that sounding out is laborious for young kids – also the books often don’t make sense because they’re using just words you can sound out.

      If you look through the emergent reader posts you’ll see my tips for how to use them. Ask any more questions if you have them!

        Thanks so much! I think I may have to purchase Reading Through the Alphabet. I have a degree in Elementary Education, but I feel like I need more training on emergent readers. Your blog will be a great resource, thank you!
