Teaching Sight Words - some ideas

There are many ways to practice Sight Words. These are some of them:

Select 5 to 10 new words each week to teach.

Make your own cards or print my cards onto hard cardboard.

Show the word to the child.

Say: This is the word /XXXX/

Ask: What letter is at the beginning of this word?

                                      

ABC order

Let children place the cards in abc order.

Word formation

Use plastic letters to "write" the words.

New sentences

You can use the cards with your children to create their own sentences.

Tic tac toe

Allow them to play tic tac toe, either with colored chalk on the board or with colored pencils on paper. you can also make tic tac toe games with manipulative pieces. Before a children can place an "x" or an "o" on the grid, he or she must spell a sight word correctly.

Letter Games Give Away!

Hi Everyone! I needed some games and flashcard activities for my little students who are still struggling with letter names and sounds so I put together a spider-themed packet of letter games and assessments that I think my students will really have some fun with! There are a bunch of flashcard games included!

I'm giving this packet away to three random winners! I hope you'll join in the fun!

Spelling ideas

These are clothespin  cards, too. In this case children have to count letters and clip one clothespin per letter.

I just added yellow cardboard to small clothespins.

Writing sticks

I love writing and love thinking new ways to improve my kids writing skills. These are some writing sticks I made for my older kids. They loved talking about their favourite things. I printed, cut and laminated them for durability. 

Kids picked up one of the sticks and wrote a few sentences using it. They changed sticks when finished.
