Make sight word practice fun, fast, and interactive with this UNO-inspired Sight Word Card Game featuring 80 high-frequency sight words for 1st and 2nd grade learners. Perfect for early readers, ESL beginners, intervention groups, and literacy centers, this card game turns essential sight word mastery into a highly engaging classroom activity.
The game includes two difficulty levels, allowing you to start with the first 40 sight words (Grade 1) and gradually introduce the second 40 (Grade 2). To play a card, students must read the sight word aloud — building fluency, confidence, and automatic recognition with every turn.
