Sight Words Word Scramble – Reading Fun Unscrambled

I made this for my 1st graders who kept getting stuck on common words. Now they race to unscramble 24 sight words like "the," "and," and "was"—then hunt for them in their favorite books. The class cheered when someone solved "HET" (the) and found it 23 times on one page!

What’s Inside:
✔ 2 printable pages (scramble + answer key)
✔ Bonus "Book Hunt" challenge (circle found words in real texts)
✔ Playful clipart (kids reading, magnifying glasses)

Teacher Victory:
"My struggling reader yelled ‘I KNOW SAW!’—then realized it’s was backward. Lightbulb moment!" – Ms. R., K-2

Perfect For:
• Literacy centers
• Parent volunteer time
• "I’m Done!" folders

Sample Scrambles:

• EHT (Answer: the)

• DNA (Answer: and)

• SAW (Answer: was)

Pro Tip:
Slap the Word! – Tape scrambled words on walls; call one out and watch them sprint
