Sight Word Wordle

Have you ever heard of "Wordle"? A Wordle is used to generate “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.
This is a great center game to reinforce sight words relevant to your class.

The objective of this activity is to have your kids search for sight words.  I keep my Sight Wordles in a plastic sheet protector and have the kids use their Expo markers to highlight the words they find.

You can do this lots of different ways...

* have the kids search for words they KNOW {this would be great for a quick assessment!}

* have the kids search for SPECIFIC words {great for a review!!!}

*have the kids search for words with 2 letters, 3 letters, etc.

* have the kids search for words that rhyme with __________.


The list goes on.... You can print off several at a time for more variety.  You can differentiate by lists.  The possibilities are endless!!!

Go to the link below for complete directions. This link also provides some other sight word center activities. Do you have a sight word center? If not you may want to try these ideas.
