✏️ How to Use the Editable Apple Tree Sight Word Sort

Enter a word on each editable tree sign. The matching apple fields automatically update with the same text. Print the pages you need, laminate if desired, and cut out the rectangular mats and individual apples.

Begin with two or three trees. Children choose an apple, read its word, and place it on a white space on the matching tree. Once the trees are complete, children record the sorted words on their recording page.
