I lucked out when my friend Ian, an educator, handed me a bushel of old teaching aids. In that pile was this gem, Space Creature Word Slides (Teaching Stuff, USA, 1979, #TS601).
From the copy:
Reinforce 217 BASIC SIGHT WORDS with these Space Creatures and word slides.
Your students color and cut out their very own 10 creatures, each with two word slides.
Students read each word aloud as they slide it through the slits made on a Space Creature.
I didn't bother scanning in the word slides.
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SPACE CREATURES !
Can you smell the purple ??
