ANIMAL
Sight Word Chants
Sight word chants are such a multi-sensory way to
practice spelling words. And what more fun than to
practice spelling like the animals!
Imitate the animal while spelling each letter of the
word, then saying the entire word. For example, if
kids draw the kangaroo card they hop in place as
they say, “t-h-e the.”
