Stocking Themed Sight Word Activity 


Sight words are so important to your child’s success in reading. You can research the words your child should be working on.  Here’s a list of Dolch Words or Fry Words for each grade level from Kindergarten to Third Grade. Spelling Words would be great for this activity too.  

Here’s a fun activity that will have your child playing for hours this holiday season and practicing their sight words again and again.  

Before you start bring meaning to the stockings for the holiday season by reading a special book about Christmas Stockings called Legend of the Christmas Stocking by Rick Osborne. We’ll be sharing a few more stocking themed activities this week too, keep watching!  Now it’s time to gather your materials and make this adorable stocking sight word game.
