Build Confident Readers with Science of Reading-Aligned Sight Word Instruction That Sticks!

Tired of teaching sight words that just don’t stick? These Sight Word Teaching Slides go beyond rote memorization. With over 240 high-frequency sight words, this resource is designed to help students truly understand, decode, and retain each word through a purposeful, phonics-integrated routine.

Whether you’re teaching a whole group, working with intervention groups, homeschooling, or assigning at-home practice, these slides bridge the gap between exposure and mastery — giving you a time-saving, consistent approach that supports reading growth and student confidence.

What Makes These Slides So Powerful?

Each word set includes a 15-slide routine rooted in Science of Reading practices — designed to help students map words orthographically, connect them to meaning, and build fluency through multiple exposures.

Here’s what’s covered in every set:

• Introduction to the word with a visual and an example sentence

• The origin and history of the word (etymology connection)

• What kind of word is it (part of speech and usage)

• How common the word is, or a fun fact to build word awareness

• Clap the syllables to build phonological awareness

• Tap the sounds to connect speech to print

• Phonics breakdown of each sound in the word

• Movable hearts for sounds your students don’t know yet or irregular word sounds

• Drag and drop sound boxes to map each phoneme

• Map the word with sound-letter connections

• Color each sound and write it for multisensory learning

• Find the word among others for visual recognition

• Finish the phrase to promote vocabulary use
