Confetti Sight Words & Letter Activity

I have one little girl who is going to learn to read this month, so our reading lesson today included "confetti sight words!" Of course, my younger preschooler saw the fun and wanted in on it!


It's a fun way to practice words and letters, so it is perfectly appropriate for any preschoolers from about three to six years old...as long as they enjoy gluing things!

Actually, doing something like this would have been torture for my second child. But for these two...they seriously love it!  All kids are different, and I strongly think that preschoolers who act like sitting is torture should not have to do seat work!

But, since these two love letters, love gluing, and are working on reading, it is perfect!

The supply list is simple: construction paper, scissors, glue

The whole project is pretty easy too, but it reinforces the letter shape, letter recognition, word shape, and word recognition.

You can pre-cut lots of little squares of construction paper, or do it with your preschoolers. I did it with them because preparation time is so extremely limited in my life!

Then "write" the word or letter you're working on with glue.

Let them start "building" the word with the "confetti" of their choice!



One of my girls even cut out a border and added it to hers: 


They loved them so much that they asked to keep them in their "art folders!" I think it's pretty adorable when their reading lesson gets "special art" status!

Do you have any favorite sight-word-learning activities? I'd love to hear about them!

Here are some other things we've done to help letter-recognition and/or sight-word recognition:
