This set of 66 cut-and-glue sentences focuses on 25 sight words that are among the first needed for beginning reading. Each sentence has 3-6 words with only 3 or 4 sections to arrange.  They are appropriate for use in preschool and kindergarten. These sentences are perfect for teaching not only sight words, but also grammar and punctuation.  The sentences are great for the beginning of the school year.  They cover the following themes:  Back to school, all about me, apples, shapes, Halloween, bats, spiders, pumpkins, fall, & gingerbread kids.

The cut-and-glue sentences work well as a center activity, for small group reading instruction, or as a large-group activity. They can also be laminated and put in pocket charts. However they are used, it is very important to tell students to cut out only one sentence at a time, gluing it in order before attempting to complete another.
