Digital Sight Words I Spy: Kindergarten

Digital Sight Words I Spy: Kindergarten gives kindergarten kids a fun way to practice reading Dolch sight words on Google Slides or Seesaw.

On every slide, kids read the sight word, type it and then drag play dough dots to cover the word each time they spot it in the grid.

There is no prep or printing, so the slides work well for centers, morning work, homework and distance learning.

How to Use the Slides

1. Click the Google Slides or Seesaw picture in the PDF to make your own copy.
2. Assign the slides to your class.
3. Kids read the word in the Read it box.
4. Kids type the word in the Type it box.
5. Kids drag a play dough dot onto the word each time they find it in the grid.

Small Group: Show a slide on the screen and find the word together.

Centers: Assign a few slides at a time for independent practice.

Easy Ways to Differentiate These Digital Sight Words

Every group has a mix of reading and computer skills. These simple changes keep the activity familiar while meeting each child where they are.

For Children Who Need More Support:

• Read the word together first.
• Assign a few slides at a time.
• Skip the typing box.
• Point to each row in the grid with the child.

For On-Level Practice:

• Read, type and cover the word on each slide.
• Count how many times the word shows up.
• Work through the slides in order.
• Read the words to a partner.

For an Extra Challenge:

• Read each slide as fast as you can.
• Use the word in a sentence.
• Write the word on paper without looking.
• Try the next grade level.

For Speech, OT, ELL or Special Education Support:

• Read each word together and give plenty of wait time.
• Accept pointing, gestures, AAC or any communication method the child already uses.
• Dragging the dots builds mouse and touch screen skills.
• Repeat the same words across several sessions.
