About this resource

Pre-Primer Sight Words Tic Tac Toe Game Practice Activities This sight word resource utilises the classic game of tic-tac-toe to help young learners master high frequency words. Two students play head-to-head, taking turns placing X's and O's on a sheet with 9 common pre-primer sight words in each square. To mark a square, a student must correctly read the sight word aloud. Getting 3 in a row wins! With 45 sight word squares across 5 game sheets, this resource provides engaging repetitive practice that improves word recognition. Implement in small groups, stations, centres, or one-on-one for a fun way to build essential early reading skills. The competitive tic-tac-toe format and sight word repetition promotes participation, peer interaction, and literacy development among Pre-school and Foundation children. This supplementary resource works for both classroom and homeschool settings.
