Sight Word Pattern Blocks

Sight word pattern blocks are a fun and hands on way for your tactile learners to practice sight words.  Includes 100+ sight words that your students will love building.  Great for a literacy center in kindergarten.
My students love pattern blocks but I never feel that I get enough use of them.  They are perfect for math but I felt we should be getting more use out of them in our classroom since my students love them so much.  They provide hands on learning  and students love building and exploring using pattern blocks.  To build on my students desire for more hands on learning activities in the classroom we recently began working on building words using our pattern blocks during literacy centers.  
They are perfect for tactile learners since students are actually building the words while using  higher level critical thinking skills by creating each of the words.  Since the words end up being so large, they are not to scale and students need plenty of space to complete them but your students will be engaged and excited to complete this activity.  They work great as an extension activity, especially at the end of the year when students may be able to read all sight words but may need more practice spelling them.  
You can find the color words as a freebie in TPT store (there is a link at the end of the post).
I also have 100 + different sight words available that are a great way to reinforce kindergarten sight words.

Also provided is a recording sheet that hold students accountable to their work and also ties in math and literacy in this activity.  .
