Sight Word String Ups

Sight Word String Ups offer a hands-on and multisensory approach to learning high-frequency and sight words. Designed to make tricky words easier to recognise and remember, this resource includes everything educators need to support sight word instruction in an engaging, student-led way. With 218 word cards, 280 letter beads, 100 chenille stems, 4 trays and a comprehensive guide, students can practise forming and reading words by physically threading letters to match the cards. The chunky beads are 2cm tall with large holes for easy manipulation, making them ideal for young learners and those developing fine motor skills. The resource supports both sight word recognition and phonics-based strategies, helping children bridge decoding with automatic word recall. Perfect for small group rotations, literacy centres or intervention settings, Sight Word String Ups offer a highly effective blend of tactile learning and word knowledge development.
