| Sight word activities
*Copy sight words on note cards (one word per card)
*never ask your student to sound them out. They are sight words they cannot
be sounded out student must know them by sight.
*you can include high frequency words that your child still struggles with
like: the & and
or words that are confused with one another like: saw & was, for & from
*try to practice sight words everyday. It doesn’t need to take a long time,
and older brothers and sisters can help.
1. Flash students cards one at a time. Put correctly read cards in one
pile and incorrect cards in another. When finish count the correct cards
and graph the # correct on a piece of graph paper. Do this at least once a
week so the child can see their own progress.
2. Put flash cards on table or floor face up. Call out a sight word
and have the child find the card. When the child finds the card they can
pick in up and make a pile in front of them. Continue until all the words
are found.
3. Lay sight word cards on floor face up. Sit and flip Tiddly Winks on
them the card that the Tiddly Wink lands on has to be read. *Can be played
with 2 people taking turns assign sight words points before the game starts
("through" may be 4 points, while "of" may be 1). If they land on a card
and read it correctly, they get that number of points. The person with the
most points wins.
4. Have a word of the day. If you are going somewhere, pick a sight
word to be the word of the day. Have your child carry around that sight word
card and have them point out to you any time they see that word whether on
billboard, store sign, etc.
5. Click on "Practice what we learn in class" on this webpage and do the
power point version of our sight words.
*Reminder- Sight words must be memorized. Your child needs to see the word
many times in order to be memorized
