Reading K/1: Sight Words

I will be using the sight words listed in each story from our I Can Read It! books & displaying the words using sight word cards in a pocket chart.  I purchased sight word cut & paste worksheets ($8) &  Lakeshore write & wipe sight words cards.
Write & Wipe Sight-Words Practice Cards
I love the concept of reading a word, building it, & then writing it.  I would like to have this as a regular activity for the boys, but haven’t decided on magnets.
My choices are:
Scholastics Little Red Tool Box High Frequency Word magnets or Lakeshore Sight Word Magnets
AC106282                                   gg310x_f
Each set has its own advantages.  I already have the Scholastic word building tiles, but I love how the Lakeshore magnets are color coded by level.  Decisions.  Decisions. 

***update***

After closely comparing the two sight word magnet sets, I decided to purchase the Scholastic's set.  I found that the Lakeshore magnets did not have near as many words.  Even after purchasing all the sets I still would not have near as many as in the Scholastic set.  Plus, I wouldn't even have all the sight words that I will be introducing.

Tomorrow:  Handwriting!
