How to Make Fun Sight Word Jewelry
Posted by Erica Warren on
As the saying goes, “Out of sight, out of mind.” But what if tricky sight words could stay in sight—and be personalized for every learner? This hands-on activity turns reading practice into an engaging craft project. Students design and wear their own sight word jewelry, proudly displaying words they’re learning. As their reading skills grow, links can be easily added or removed, creating a dynamic and motivating way to master those challenging words.
Here is the process:
Materials:
- contact paper
- permanent markers
- paper clips
Steps:
- Step one: Cut the contact paper into small strips.
- Step two: Write the difficult sight words onto the contact paper.
- Step three: Peal of the backing and wrap the contact paper around one of the paper clips.
- Step four: Link another paper clip onto the first and then wrap your next sight word onto the new link.
- Step five: Continue the process until it is long enough for a bracelet or necklace.
This creative project turns sight word practice into a fun, wearable reminder of progress. As students build their sight word chains, they not only strengthen reading fluency but also gain a tangible sense of achievement. Whether worn as a bracelet or necklace, each link becomes a symbol of growth—keeping those once-tricky words “in sight” and within reach of mastery.
I hope you enjoy this project.I would love to hear your thoughts!!
Cheers, Erica
