This collection of hopping materials covers all of the Sight Words identified by Dr. Edward William Dolch as basic words that, for the most part, cannot be sounded out and must be learned by sight. All 220 Dolch sight words are listed on these 29 mats or stickers. Each material lists seven sight words in large, kid-friendly text on colorful blocks.
Our Word Hops are available as vinyl floor mats or floor stickers, so you can choose the one that best suits your class’s needs. Our heavy-duty vinyl floor mats can easily be rolled up and stored away. Alternatively, you can create a more permanent location to practice Dolch sight words in your school with our regular sticker for smooth floors or our carpet-friendly option.
Learning how to read can be challenging, especially considering how complex the English language is. With our Word Hops, students drill letter and word recognition through movement. Movement is proven to boost student learning comprehension and improve memory retention. Best of all, your students will love to learn sight words with the games possible on these materials!
With repeated exposure to these high-frequency words, your students will have no problem reading sight words! No more sitting at a desk struggling to understand static books or worksheets. Students can practice reciting the words, spelling the words, and using the words in sentences while moving their bodies. Writing sight words will come naturally as they improve their penmanship.

Our Word Hops make learning Dolch sight words engaging by marrying movement and reading. As children hop or step on the mats or stickers, they recite and recognize the words while reinforcing their memory through physical activity. This kinesthetic learning strategy helps improve word recognition and retention.
Dolch sight words are basic words identified by Dr. Edward William Dolch that cannot be sounded out and must be learned by sight. These 220 words appear frequently in the English language, so recognizing them by sight is crucial for reading fluency and comprehension.
The sight words listed on each Word Hop get progressively more difficult. Word Hop A has the easiest list of words, while Word Hops Z, AA, AB, and AC feature the most difficult words.

Our Word Hops improve reading skills by making the learning process active and engaging. Physical activity increases blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain, which boosts learning and memory retention! By moving while reading, children are more likely to understand and remember words. Reading time does not have to be sedentary!

I absolutely love these mats! They are making a tremendous difference for our younger students, especially K and 1st graders. We put them outside the classroom and have students jump on them as they enter and leave.
I have also used these mats with my 3 year old. She was having trouble making the connection that letters make words and now that she’s been on these mats, she is learning exponentially! It takes her about 7-15 minutes to learn the 7 words on the mat…and obviously great exercise for a busy 3 year old.
