The Sight Word Wall includes 150+ sight words for students to reference throughout the school year. Consider printing to A3 if you have the space available, simply to make the words more easily visible from the other side of the classroom. Create space below each chart to add new sight words throughout the year. Use our themed name cards and labels for a unified thematic decor look.
