About the sight words wheel
This sight words wheel holds the 40 Dolch pre-primer words, the high-frequency words most children learn first. Spinning turns reading practice into a game: kids read the word, spell it, or use it in a sentence. Swap in your own weekly word list and click "Save" to reuse it tomorrow.
Ways to use it
- Whole-class warm-up on the projector: spin, read, and clap it out.
- Small-group practice: each child spins and reads their word aloud.
- Sentence challenge: use the word in a sentence for a bonus point.
