Sight Word Reader ‘I am’ : FREE 8 Fun Pages for Preschoolers
Miss 6 is currently trying to read on her own. To support her effort, I made this Sight Word Reader ‘I am’.
I noticed that both words are quite common in kids’ books and everyday life, especially when we meet some one new.
We usually see the word ‘I am’ when someone is introducing themselves, or when we are introducing ourselves.
The kids’ storybooks also usually introduce their characters using the ‘I am’ sight words.
Hence, I go for these sight word first for Miss 6 (Miss 5 turned 6 yesterday!)
Sight Word Reader ‘I am’
This sight word reader has 2 mini books; a bunny book and a carrot book.
In these books, we repeat the sight word ‘I’ and ‘am’ for 4 times.
There are only 3 words per page.
For example, one of the word is : ‘I am bunny’ – I didn’t put ‘I am a bunny’ because I want let Miss 6 to recognize the words ‘I’ and ‘am’ first.
To make it more fun, we added games, which is to color by sight words, or do some dot activity to the sight words.
This dot activity include dot stickers activity or do-a-dot marker.
Or you can replace them with pompoms, cereals, gummy bears, bunny erasers, beads and more!
