AC9E1LY14 — read and write an increasing number of high-frequency words

From the author

About this resource

These sight word worksheets encourage all students to practise sight word reading fluency for the target sight word. There are three different fluency practice pages that all focus on learning to spell and read the target sight word in context. Allowing students to practise the sight word in context allows students to connect the word's meaning and grammatical usage to help gain a greater understanding of the target word.

Each passage repeats the target word multiple times for repeated practice with the word. Students will practise reading, writing, reading comprehension, and spelling high frequency words with these fluency pages.


Included in this sight word fluency packet:

* One reading fluency page that contains a single passage for students to read and find the sight word.

* One write and read fluency page where students will write the target sight word and then read the passage.

* One read, write, and draw fluency page where students will read a sentence, copy the sentence then draw a picture to illustrate the sentence.
When can these be used?

  • * Literacy activities

  • * Independent Reading Practice

  • * Small group activities

  • * Shared or Partner reading activities

  • * Homework

  • * Morning Work

  • * Relief plans

  • * Extra reading practice


The reading fluency page and the write and read page include the same passage and is the perfect way to differentiate between students who need to focus on just recognising the word while reading and those who need more practice with writing and spelling the sight word.


This sight word packet focuses on the sight word: were.
