Sight Word Mazes are a fun, no prep way to reinforce sight word recognition and automaticity. Sight words make up more than 50% of general texts and are a vital part of reading success.

This file contains 41 Sight Word Mazes - one for each of the words on the Dolch 1st grade list. Students follow along the path by coloring in each shape with the target sight word. They can also use stickers or paint daubers to mark the path. I keep a reusable set of Sight Word Mazes in plastic sheet protectors so they are always available for use….students use a dry erase marker and erase when they are done.

These worksheets are great for your whole class, fast finishers or students needing a little extra practice. They can be a great addition to morning work, literacy centers, homework or summer review packets.

Teachers Helping Teachers:

Vocabulary instruction is an important component of literacy instruction in preschool. It also provides children with an understanding of a variety of words which in turn can help with later reading comprehension. Vocabulary instruction is valuable as it builds the foundation for later reading skills, such as comprehension. A child needs to be taught vocabulary in many different ways.
