Show Me the Dough!! FUN Sight Word Practice!

My students LOVE using Play Dough at centers! At the beginning of the year I ask parents to donate or make play dough for us to use and wouldn't you know that on the first day of school I had students asking when we were going to use the play dough! While, I didn't add play dough to the craziness of the first day (#whynot?), I did quickly add it to our word work centers and by george it is a HIT--one of the most popular choices:

I have used play dough in past years for centers, but this year we started using the Dolch sight words and I wanted to give my students a fun and motivating way to practice their words, so I have created sight word mats for each of the Dolch word lists that are easy to use: just print, laminate, cut, and add play dough! 

Each mat also comes in color AND black and white-to best suit your printing needs! I like options, don't you! Here's a preview of each set:

 The Pre-primer Sight Word Play Dough mat set covers all the 40 Pre-primer Dolch Sight Words (a, and, away, big, blue, can, come, down, find, for, funny, go, help, here, I, in, is, it, jump, little, look, make, me. my, not, one, play, red, run, said, see, the, three, to, two, up, we, where, yellow, you).

 The Primer Sight Word Play Dough mat set covers all the 52 Primer Dolch Sight Words (all, am, are, at, ate, be, black, brown, but, came, did, do, eat, four, get, good, have, he, into, like, must, new, no, now, on, our, out, please, pretty, ran, ride, saw, say, she, so, soon, that, there, they, this, too, under, want, was, well, went, what, white, who, will, with, yes).

I have also put all of the 5 sight word packets into a BUNDLE! This bundle is not only a great deal (50% off!!), but it is also perfect for differentiating! I am so excited to have mats for all of the word lists so that my below level, on level, and above level kiddos can all have fun practicing their words!

And I'm giving away the BUNDLE to the first two people to leave some comment love with their email addy!! 

Happy Weekend!
