I like to teach the sight words BIG and LITTLE together because there are so many books and other resources that combine the two. Children also love to learn about things that are big and compare them to little, tiny things.

ACTIVITY; Have class fold an 11x18 white paper in half and label one side with the word BIG and the other with the word LITTLE. Have them draw big things on one side and little things on the other.
A LITTLE SEED
A little seed for me to sow
A little seed to make it grow
A little hole, a little pat,
A little wish, and that is that,
A little sun, a little shower.
A little while--
A then, a flower!
