How to Use This Pack

Five pages of copywork, three sentences a page, from the sight word packs: every word is a Dolch sight word or a word children can sound out by then. The first two pages are pre-primer sentences and the next two primer sentences; the first three pages give each sentence in dashed letters to trace, and the last two print it in ink to copy, ending with first grade sentences. Each sentence has a line under it to write it on.

In the Classroom

Read each sentence together, pointing to each word, before children write. Pair a page with the matching sight word list: the sentences use the same words. Ask children to check the capital at the start and the mark at the end.

At Home

Have your child read the sentence to you, then trace or copy it. Ask them to find the sight words in a favorite book.

Tips for Success

  • Read the sentence first, a finger under each word
  • Start with a capital letter
  • Leave a finger space between words
  • Copy the mark at the end: a period or a question mark
  • Read your sentence back when you finish
