Sight Word Emergent Reader: big

This sight word emergent reader packet contains three different sight word reading books that help differentiate sight word instruction. This emergent reader focuses on the sight word: big.

Books Included:

• Reading Fluency - With this book, students simply read each simple sentence and colour the picture.
