Build A Caterpillar Sight Word: 1st Grade
Caterpillar pieces turn sight-word spelling into a hands-on construction task. After the pages are printed, laminated, and cut, learners choose a head and assemble lettered body sections to make a word from the included first-grade list. Separate alphabet-piece pages provide the letters needed for repeated combinations. The activity suits literacy centres, partner practice, or targeted review with a smaller teacher-selected word set.
