My 100 Sight Words and Playdough Book

What if learning 100 words could feel more like playtime than homework?

Building a strong reading foundation takes practice, repetition and plenty of opportunities to see, say and work with words. But repetition doesn’t have to mean sitting with the same old flashcards.

My 100 Sight Words and Playdough Book turns word practice into an engaging, hands-on learning experience for children aged 6 years and older. This generous 106-page printable resource combines word recognition, playdough activities, colouring and writing practice to help children actively engage with 100 words rather than simply looking at them.

What’s Inside?

Each word has its own activity page with a large outlined word, a matching picture to colour and letter blocks for writing the word. Children are encouraged to use playdough to build the letters, say the word aloud, colour the picture and then write the word into the blocks.

This simple sequence turns one activity into several different learning opportunities.

Children can see the word, say the word, build the word and write the word.

The accompanying pictures also give children a visual connection to the vocabulary they are practicing. For example, the booklet includes illustrated words such as ball, bath, bed, bee, bell, bush, bus, pot, crab, book, boat, bear, cup, mat, pig, frog, tiger, foot, fire, fish, apple, ape and bike, among many others.

Why Teachers and Parents Will Love It

Some children learn best when their hands are busy.

Instead of relying on word recognition alone, this resource gives learners something to do with each word. Rolling and shaping playdough adds a tactile element, saying the word encourages verbal practice, colouring provides a visual connection, and writing gives children another opportunity to reinforce what they have learned.

It also makes it easy for teachers and parents to work at the child’s pace. Complete one page at a time, choose specific words that need extra attention, or gradually work through the entire book.

The instructions even encourage adults to praise children when they succeed, remain patient and use positive comments throughout the activity—helping to make practice an encouraging experience rather than a pressured one.
