A great resource for working on the 300 first-grade HMH spelling words of the week writing the tiny words hidden in the drawing. There are a total of 36 weeks.

Download the first module of this resource for free when subscribing to our newsletter!!

Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny words of the HMH week hidden in the pictures of animals and write them in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.

There is no better way to learn vocabulary than to write the words after paying close attention to how they are written.

There are two different resources available:

1. 'Find and write' resource: Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny spelling words of the week hidden in the pictures and write them in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.
2. 'Find, circle, and trace' resource: Your students will have to look with a magnifying glass for the tiny HMH spelling words hidden in the pictures, circle or line them, and trace the dotted words in the boxes. They will also be able to write a sentence using one or several words of the week and color the drawing whoever wants or finishes soon.

Both products can be purchased separately, but also together for a lower price.

Differentiation:

For children with greater ease when it comes to tracing the hidden words, I'd use the "Find and write" resource, while for the rest, I would opt for the "Find, circle, and trace" resource.

You will find three PDF files with three different font sizes of the hidden words for children with problems seeing words due to their visual ability. Use the one that suits each child or your group best. The two smaller ones will require the use of a magnifying glass, but most will be able to read the larger one without using it.

I hope your students enjoy this very motivating activity. Let me know in your comments.

Use in centers, small groups, or as an early finisher activity. My kids are always begging me to play this game!

This game includes all 107 Zeno Sight Words. I teach the 107 Sight Words because they are the most narrowed-down list of the most commonly used words in texts. It is important your child can read these words quickly and accurately for success in reading! 

I broke the words up into 8 sets so that each set would have 52 cards to keep the game engaging and not too long! This also allows you to easily differentiate the game by choosing the set that has more words that your child needs to work on! Each set is color-coded so if cards get mixed up you can easily find their place!

Included:

• Go Fish Rules

• 8 sets of cards

• Each set has 52 cards

• Endless amounts of fun!

*Prep time is needed. I suggest you print these on card stock and laminate them for more durability. Printing on normal paper will work too! Print the set of cards and cut them out!
