Kindergarten Book of Words

 One of the Kindergarten teachers at our building has a book in her classroom library called "The Important Book of Kindergarten Words".  In this book, she has a page for each sight word.  Each page has a sight word written with a capital letter in the beginning, like you would see it at the beginning of the sentence, and in all lower case letters.  It also has a copy of a page from a book with the sight word highlighted.
