Sight Word Activity - Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly
In this activity, students will read the high-frequency sight word before feeding the card to the old lady.
This game is perfectly suited to reluctant readers.
Simply provide a selection of words a student must read and feed to the lady.
Students can see a finite end to the game, which is encouraging for less confident readers.
