About this resource
Build A Caterpillar Sight Word - Primer (Dolch)
This entertaining and engaging language arts resource helps students in Grades 1–3 develop their spelling and phonics skills. Students will build sight words by choosing a caterpillar head and then assembling the word using caterpillar body parts. After printing and laminating the parts, students match letters to build common Dolch sight words. This resource can be used individually, in small groups, or with the whole class. By making learning active and hands-on, this resource helps boost literacy in a memorable way. Working on sight words doesn’t have to be dry or repetitive. With this caterpillar activity, students will have fun putting the pieces together while expanding their knowledge of early reading vocabulary.
When students are ready for the next list, try these Grade 1 sight-word caterpillars.
