The post Free Kindergarten Printables and Mom’s Library #160 first appeared on True Aim.

This post contains an awesome giveaway below!  For more information, please read my full disclosure.

There are those words that every child struggles with when they start reading.  They’re the ones you can’t sound out and they show up all the time.  The most frequently used words in books are words that cannot be sounded out.  So when teaching my children to read, I use a combination of phonics and sight words.

That’s where this new Preprimer Sight Word Pack from 3 Dinosaurs comes in.  It introduces children to the most commonly used sight words like a, away, I, etc.  And it’s fun!  There are 40 different words covering the Dolch Preprimer Sight Word list.  For every word there are 10 different worksheet activities that your children will love!  I know mine did.

Audrey’s favorite worksheet was the word search.  I didn’t believe Cassie when she told me that older children like the word searches.  She was so right!  My daughter is 6 and she wanted to do more right after the first one.  We put our favorite printables in sheet protectors so we can reuse them and get in even more practice!

Here is a list of all the activities included in the pack:

• Sight Word Playdough Mat (or decorate the word)
• Do-a-dot the Sight Word
• Sight Word Trace – Color – Write
• Sight Word Color by Letter
• Find Sight Word in the Sentences
• Trace the Sight Word in the Sentences
• Sight Word Word Search
• Review Page
• Read – Trace – Write a Sentence
• Sight Word Maze

Plus there are 9 extras: Preprimer Sight Word Cards (3 types: Regular, Cube, & Word in the Frame), Small book with All Dolch Preprimer Words (Read, Trace & Color), Dolch Preprimer Sight Word list also with check off, Fun List Check with check that matches up to the set, Read – Write – Build Printable, Word Search Answer Key, and Sight Word Coloring Pages.

That is over 580 pages of activities and printables!

At only $15 this is an amazing value for only 2 cents per page!  To get these printables and start boosting your young readers skills, buy it today on Cassie’s Teachers Notebook or Teachers Pay Teachers stores.

Get the 3 Dinosuars Priprimer Pack for only $15!

A little bit about the Author: Cassie is a mom of three stomping, romping, and roaring girls.  She blogs about fun art and craft activities and printables she make.  Tip reviews, about the places that she has taken the girls, are also a fun feature.  She has lots of free printables for kids ages 2 to 8 and always adding more.  She loves to get comments and feedback and is always looking for new things to try with her girls.

3 Dinosaurs Giveaway!
