Sight Words Reading Passages and Worksheets: Pre-Primer.

I have already published a blog post about my printable sight words flashcards that I use to teach my pre-school and elementary school students to read and write in English. Today I’d like to share a few reading comprehension passages and worksheets that I have designed to be used along with the cards for my English classes. Since my sight words cards are based on the Dolch word list, I use the same sight words for my reading passages and worksheets. The Dolch’s scale starts with the pre-primer level – a small group of words that kids can learn in kindergarten. So the first sight word reading passages and worksheets I’d like to share are based on this pre-primer vocabulary.

Here are examples of simple pre-primer vocabulary texts that I read with kids who start learning English.

It is a bird. The bird is big and blue.
It is a bird. The bird is little and red.
Look! Can you see two funny birds?
The birds come here to play. The birds jump and run in the grass.
Can you help me make a home for the birds?

- Where can a little boy play?
- The boy can play here. You can find a big red ball and a yellow toy car for the boy.
- Where can a little girl play?
- The girl can play here. Here is a doll for the girl.
- Look, it is a big box of toys for the boy and the girl!

I see a yellow apple and a red apple.
The red apple is big.
The yellow apple is for me and the red apple is for you.

I did my best to make my reading comprehension worksheets appealing to little children. It helps me excite and expire young English learners and make them want to read more in this language. I hope my fellow EFL and ESL teachers will also find these reading comprehension passages and worksheets useful.
