Sight Word Readers

 Beginning readers can use context clues, picture clues, and sight word knowledge to read these printable little books. 








sw bundle pack

Simple Sight Word Readers

I’ve also created a new set of sight word books that teach the same 26 words as the first set – but in a much simpler format. This set is ideal for young learners, struggling learners, and English language learners. Each set of four books has four different themes.  Eventually I plan to share all of them for free, but it will take at least a year. If you don’t want to wait, you can purchase the bundle pack.

Set 1: “a”
Set 2: the
Set 3: see
Set 4: “I”

Set 5: “look”
Set 6: “at”

simple-sight-word-books-link-to-buy

More Sight Word Books

After creating the first 26 sets to use alongside Reading the Alphabet, I’ve had requests for more books.  I’m creating additional sets.  These later sets loosely correlate with my free phonics books.    When I have a large collection, these will also be available for purchase in a bundle pack.  I expect that it’s at least year (or more) before I add to this collection. For now you may download each set by clicking on the images below to get to the blog post.





Phonics Books

I’ve shared over 130 books in my free phonics reader collection that are designed to be used alongside my sight word readers or separately.  Each book introduces a new phonics pattern and gives practice with simple sentences and bright pictures.  

Set 1: -an, -at, -ap, -ab, -an, -ag, -ack
Set 2: -ip, -it-, -ick, -ill, -ick, -id, -in
Set 3: -op, -ock, -ot, -og, -ob
Set 4: -ed, -ell, -en, -eck, -et

Set 5: -ub, -ug, -un, -uck, -um
Set 6: er, ar, ur, ir, or
Set 7: Silent e
Set 8: ee & oo

Set 9: ai, ay, igh, -y
Set 10: ea, oa, ow, ie
Set 11: ush, unch, ump, ust, ung, unk
Set 12: and, ash, amp, ang, atch, ank

Set 13: ind, ent, est, old, itch, ink, ing
Set 14: aw, all, oi, oy, ou, ue, ui, ew, dge, ow
Set 15: -s ,-es endings
Set 16: -ed, -ing (suffixes)

Set 17: Compound words
Set 18: Contractions
Set 19: VCCV words
Set 20: VCV words

Set 21: -el, -le, -er, -ar, -or
Set 22: -ie, -ey, -y
Set 23: -ture, -age, -on
Set 24: Prefixes and Suffixes

“Color Me” Emergent Readers

Unlike my sight word books, these are black and white so children can color them.  They do not get progressively harder with set. Instead, each set has three books – level 1, 2, and 3.  These books are created to correlate with my preschool and kindergarten themes.

Guided Reading

Guided reading is a instructional approach that involves a teacher working with a small group of readers. During the lesson, the teacher provides a text that students can read with support, coaching the learners as they use problem-solving strategies to read the text. The ultimate goal is independent reading.

If you’d like to know more, be sure to read my 10-part series. Many of these printables come from that series.

Voice to Print Packs

These packs of 40 printable cards are wonderful for teaching children that each word they say matches a word in print.  Some children may be ready to learn beginning sight words from these cards as well.  I recommend printing the cards, laminating, and cutting them apart to assemble on a metal ring.

Nonfiction Readers

I’ve begun sharing nonfiction emergent readers that have real photographs as images.  These simple books are great for early readers in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.  Each book I share is part of a much larger set that comes with my theme packs, which you may view in my store.

“Kids Can Garden”
“Colorful Mittens”
“I am a Firefighter”
“Pumpkins”

“My Emotions”

Pocket Chart Sentences

Each of my theme packs, which you can view in my store, contain a large variety of pocket chart sentences.  I share a small set as a freebie from each theme pack. These are excellent for teaching concepts of print such as concept of word and left to right progression.  They’re also great for teaching sight words!

      I just found your website. You have great, simple activities and ideas. I am a retired teacher but I do tutoring and subbing. I have printed some of your free printables, different grade levels, to add to my file to use with students I work with. When you sub in a classroom, you sometimes get that phone call last minute. I like to have readily available activities in my “educational arsenal” when I walk in the door.

It was available when I started teaching, but it took so long to find things and they were not nearly as accessible. Technology can be an amazing blessing!

    THANK YOU so much for all your great stuff. Thats just amazing. I’m preparing now all the time because I just finished university and I hope I can start teaching in september! 🙂 Unfortunately I can’t use your english/alphabetic things because I live in Austria but I try to create some things on my own (you’re such an inspiration).
    All the best for you & you’re familiy!

    The alphabet books are beautiful. However I believe that both upper and lowercase letters should be used

    Reply
    • Anna Geiger says

      September 13, 2014 at 1:36 pm

      I understand, Janelle. However, I chose to use just uppercase because I created these for my toddler and wanted to keep things simple. I will be teaching him his lowercase letters later when he is ready. It’s easy for him to “read” the book himself when he has the large uppercase letter to identify rather than both, which could confuse him.

      I’m so glad to hear that, Jennifer! I remember how hard these easy readers were to find at an affordable price when I was a classroom teacher. If you have it in your budget and are not already a member, I recommend looking into Reading A-Z. I think it’s $100 for a year’s membership, and they have a ton of AWESOME printable books for all levels. I actually got a membership just to use with my kids at home.

    I stumbled onto your site and it is the answer to my prayers. I have a son in Kindergarten that has A LOT of energy so I know homework is a must. Almost two years ago, I was involved in an auto accident which resulted in a TBI (traumatic brain injury). What I knew before that accident is gone, so I am starting over again. I felt lost, I was not going to be able to provide the help my son needed. But NOT now! Your site will not only help my son but it will help me as well. Thank you for the hard work you have done. I love it all.

    THANK YOU! I am a kindergarten teacher and a mommy of two boys and our newest addition is our daughter 🙂 My oldest is 6 and in first grade….we have been practicing spelling words and it is always a fight (neither one of us wants to drill and practice after a long day at school!). So thank you for the awesome ideas/materials for both my kindergarten classroom and our home!!! God bless you and thank you once again <3

    Thank you so much for your site, in particular for the Word Study exercises. I’m teaching twin boys how to read/spell, and my regular techniques just weren’t working for one of them. I switched to your Word Study method and everything clicked for him. I’m wondering, though, if you’ll add more lists eventually? With O an U in particular, and then maybe more complex digraphs? It would be VERY appreciated.

      HI Sophie! No worries – your e-mail address only shows up for me, not for readers. I’m so glad word study is working for your boys! The reason I stopped doing word study on my blog is because my daughter outgrew it. Her spelling ability grew so rapidly that this was not a good use of her time. And since she attends school and this was an after school activity, I couldn’t justify it any longer. I would love to do this sort of thing with my son in the summer (he’s also an advanced speller and is currently in kindergarten), but I just don’t know for sure. Have you bought the Words Their Way book? It has so much helpful information. If you like apps, I highly recommend the Words Their way apps: https://www.themeasuredmom.com/best-spelling-apps-kids/. I’m sorry I can’t help you in this area right now. I think some day I might get to it, but it will probably be too late for you!

      Hello, Florencia!

      That’s an interesting idea… a first grade readiness checklist. I’ll have to think about that one! It’s challenging to write as kids are at SO many different stages of development when they come to first grade. I remember having a first grader who didn’t know all her letters and two students who were reading at a 5th grade level… all in the same class. Obviously the norm is somewhere in the middle. 🙂 I’ll think on it!

    I am trying to assist a dear friend of mine who is 8 years old and recently started to really dislike school. I have found she has trouble with vowel sounds, which is making spelling and reading difficult for her. Sadly, her school is just pushing her through and not helping where help is needed. I found your site and I am thrilled that i can walk her back through the basics this summer and help her to understand and learn.

    I love that I am able to purchase the phonics “set” from you so I can easily create a binder. Your site is more helpful then many others I have come across. Thanks so MUCH!

She didn’t start talking until she was 2 1/2 — but you’d never guess it now, as she speaks and reads beautifully (she’s going into 3rd grade). As our oldest she received the most reading to and personal attention 🙂 and it certainly helped her develop a passion for books. That’s so wonderful that you’re doing so much with your toddler.

    I’m a speech-language pathology graduate student and it’s always a struggle to afford new materials and think of fun ideas for my younger clients. Thank you so much! This is a great resource and I will continue to come back for more! Your materials are so easy to adapt to speech and language therapy. The coloring pages by letter can be used to teach sounds (like those tricky “r” and “s” sounds). There are rhyming and matching activities. Even the math activities, like the bugs in a jar, can be used as fun reinforcement while working on language goals. Thanks again!

    I am pretty new to teaching first grade and I have found your materials to be so refreshing!!! I taught 4th and 5th grade for quite a while, so coming down to 1st was a big change. Once I found your website I felt much better about teaching phonics. Thank you so much for sharing all your hard work. The word family mats and word family “house” wheels are my favorite so far.

    I am loving the little books! I am going to print them and add them to my bin for Daily 5 Read to Self time for my Grade 1 and 2 class. I was wondering if you would consider making emergent readers for “is” and “it” that aren’t specifically US focused? I am in Canada and would love to have a complete set but hesitate to add books about the US presidents and symbols to my classroom library.

      Hi Teresa! I think if I were starting over I would have made the books applicable to all countries, but when I was originally making them they hadn’t caught on yet. I think that making alternate sets that work for all countries is a great idea, but unfortunately not something I can put on my schedule right now. Too many irons in the fire – I’m sorry!

I like to use the same game with different concepts because then I don’t have to reteach how to play the games over and over. Thanks!

I am a mom of a preschooler living in Sweden who desires to homeschool her child as long as I am legally allowed (homeschooling is illegal here). And my husband and I decided that our little girl should be proficient in English as well as Swedish. But it is not easy to find homeschool material here, let alone ones in English. I am a homeschooling mom on a tight budget, so I am very grateful to you for sharing!! Our girl is very much interested in reading and writing so your alphabet resources are perfect!

    Blessing to you,

    I apologize for not being clear, you don´t have to print anything for me or mail me anything and I admire your priority are your children
    I meant that perhaps in YOUR FREEBIE SECTION, YOU CAN POST SOME BOOKS FOR SMALL READERS. Then I can print them MYSELF. What happens is that the ones you have cost money and you mention free books but probably I am clicking the wrong way and CAN´T GET THEM.
    that is the reason of my suggestion. I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

    I have enjoyed being introduced to your wonderful site! I have been looking for beginning printing pages, and really like how they would trace inside the letter. I was just wondering on the lower case letter d, it seems as though the red dot on all other letters is placed where the letter begins, by the 1. However, on the d the red dot remains at the top and not where the 1 is to begin the letter. Hopefully I have made sense.
    Can’t wait to continue learning about your site!

    Hi Anna,

    I recently bought almost every item that is offered in your shop. I’ve already started using some of it and my kids love it. My question…is there anything in the ‘free printables’ section that is NOT included in the shop? For example I was downloading the short vowel family mats from the free printable section until I realized that I’d already purchased them as a single download from the shop. Any advice? 🙂

    Reply
    • Anna Geiger says

      March 23, 2017 at 9:42 am

      Hi Joey! I’m thinking you’re asking if there is anything in the free printables section that you have already purchased as a bundle. So you’re trying to save yourself some in the free printables section. If that’s what you’re asking, here’s my answer:

      1- Don’t download any of the read ‘n stick mats. They are all in the shop, improved and bundled.
      2- Don’t download the word family houses. They are much improved and bundled in the shop.
      3- Do not download sets 1-26 of the sight word books. They are bundled for easy downloading in the shop.
      4- Do not download any of of the simple sight word books. They are bundled (and added to) in the shop.
      5- Do not download any of the phonics books. They are bundled for easy downloading in the shop.
      6- Do not download the spelling mats or read and slide cards. They are bundled in the shop.
      7- Do not download each of the A-Z letter books individually. They are in one download in the shop. Also do not download the simple A-Z photo books individually. They are in one download in the shop.

      The point of many of these shop bundles is to save you a TON of time downloading, plus some of the files are updated and improved. So definitely don’t download again. 🙂

      Some things in the shop that are completely NEW and not in the shop – LOTW curriculum, theme packs (which just various small freebies on this page), the writing workshop curriculum, A-Z photo cards, opposite packs, etc.

        Thank you so very much for clarifying that. I was afraid that my question would seem to convey what you said, but in fact I’ve already purchased every item in the shop except for maybe 1 or 2. I’m in love with the materials you provide and so are my students.

        Thank you again so very much and I look forward to any new additions. I also absolutely love the suggestions you offer on all of the pages such as story books to go along with themed packs or other printables. As a new teacher, it’s a tremendous help. Thank you again!

      Hi Betsy,

      I have many, many phonics printables on my site, so you’ll have to give me the URL of the post where you’re having trouble so I can figure it out.

    I am making some alphabet letters for my 2-year-old grandson. Can you give me an estimate of how many of each letter I need to make for him and how many of each number? He signs with his parents and is becoming more verbal every day. Thank you for all the work you have accomplished to help parents learn to work with their children appropriately. My son taught himself to read at age 4 and my daughter taught herself to read at age 3. I had been reading to them from 6 months in age. Great pleasure for me and for them! Again, thank you for making so much information available. I will be gifting my grandson’s parents with much of your material.

      That’s a great question, Kay, but not one I can easily answer. I would really need to meet your grandson to see what he’s doing, what he enjoys, and what he’s ready to work on next. If you are eager to print and bind material for his parents to use, I would start with the alphabet books. They are a great fit for 2 year olds, and they are something he can use again and again. Here are the links to my two sets:

        Anna, In regard to my question about the frequency of letters used in the English language, I found a partial answer on a cryptogram puzzle page in a PennyPress Favorite Variety Puzzle book: “One way to break the code is to look for repeated letters. E, T, A, O, N, R, and I are the most often used letters. A single letter is usually A or I; OF, IS, and IT are common 2-letter words; try THE or AND for a 3-letter group.” Therefore, in my lower-case alphabet for my grandson, I will make 3-each of E, T, A, O, N, R, I, F, H, S, and D. I’ll let you know how they work out. My husband and I will be visiting the family for Christmas. I’ll let you know how the letters work out. By the way, I forgot to tell you that the parents told us Lukas loves the letters! Thank you so much for sharing how to make them.

I find that page and it is very useful, because i get some new ideas from you and some free printables that i think we can use next year during there lessons. We use similar metholds, although i need to translate these staff. But THANK YOU! These printables Huge help for us!!! I think it will help us teaching them better and they will enjoy them.

I subscribed to the newsletter as it said in order to access the subscriber library but am unable to find that either.

    Hello Anna,
    I just wanted to say that I love your printable resources! I just finished teaching summer school to a group of Kindergartners. I used a bunch of your resources: ABC Letter Tracing cards- the kids loved the pictures, the mini ABC flipbook was very helpful for reinforcing letter sounds during small group work, a rhyming worksheet that I used as an assessment at the end to see their growth with rhyming words that we reviewed with your rhyming path games. We also used the beginning letter path games, the cute fruits and vegetables books and the 3D sorting mats with pictures of real objects. Your resources made it easy to plan productive activities that the students enjoyed using. Thank you for creating these resources and for sharing them as free resources. Your site will be a first stop for me when I need a new idea for teaching primary grade students.

    I used a lot of your resources when I taught PS/K-4 a few years ago, and I’m so glad I found your one-player multiplication bingo game to do with my 3rd graders. My students really love using that game to practice their facts! We will soon be starting division. Would you happen to have the same game for division?

    Thanks!

    Hello ! Congratulations on your work it is really amazing and helpful. I really love it Never seen such qualitiy and thougtfulness in everything that you do.
    And I am not here just for your freebies which is amazing too. I do not mind pay for high quality work like you, not at all. But I do have a complaint.
    Your website IS SO COMPLICATED TO NAVIGATE ! PLUS IS ANNOYING TO HAVE TO WRITE my email and name every time ! and then it directs me to something I do not want…
    I know you have to take care of your owkr and not let just anyone get it, but I think the difficulty of navigate your page is too much. Or maybe I am just ignorant? And I mean it in the best possible way. Thank you

      I’m sorry you feel that way, Beatriz. I’ve actually worked very hard to make my website easy to navigate. For example, I’ve never seen another blog that has such an easy-to-use free printable page like this one.

      Don’t you think that the few seconds it takes to add your email address is worth a free file?

    Hi- I use your web sight a lot homeschooling my daughter with autism. She is middle school age but still needs the pre-school kindergarten level. She really needs real photographs not cartoons. I have recently printed the book “I am a Firefighter” and the sorting mats to go with this. I do not see where to download or print the books, “I am a Police Officer” or “I am a mail carrier”
    Other helpful books would be “I am a Doctor”
    We are currently working on identifying community helpers and your printables are great for this. I love the real pictures!!! Thank you

      This is Kate, Anna’s assistant. I’m so glad you like the firefighter book! It’s a free book from Anna’s Community Helper theme pack. The theme pack is FULL of real images, including 12 books like the firefighter book. If you’d like more information on the theme pack, it’s for sale here: https://www.themeasuredmom.com/product/community-helpers-theme-pack-for-pre-kk/

      You’ll also love the sorting mats, where children sort photo images of tools, etc. onto the board for the correct community helper.

    I am so very thankful for your willingness to help so many others. I work at an after school program and love working with the little ones. I try hard to make sure that homework is done but try to help those who need that little extra the learning they need. I have some kindergartens that struggle with Alphabet and sight words. Can you provide me with suggestions to help those that are behind because they can not focus? I thank you again and have a blessed day.
