Kids need to memorize sight words so the more practie they have with each word, the better. Sight words make up about 50 – 75 percent of all writing in the English language so knowing these words “by sight” is absolutely essential for a solid reading foundation.

The Zingo! Sight Words game is one of our favorites for practicing sight words since it makes learning sight words fun. What’s more, your beginning readers can play this game on their own. (Yeah!)

To play, slide out the sight word titles using the Zinger! machine. See if you can match those words to any words on your bingo card. The first player to fill up their bingo cards wins!
