Sight Words
How is it useful?
Sight words are words that your child will see again and again in print and often are words that cannot be "sounded out." The more of these words your child knows automatically, the better reader and writer s(he) will be!
Ways to use the resource:
Have your child practice the sight words s(he) doesn't know. Please refer to the copy of highlighted words I previously sent home.

- Use them like flashcards, slowly adding more to the pile of words your s(he) practices each night.
- Print out 2 copies of the set of words and play memory.
- Have your child say the word, write the word, and come up with a sentence using the word.
- Find the sight word in print and keep track of how many times it is found.
- Write the sight words on popsicle sticks and place in a cup. Color an end of one popsicle stick red and add to the cup. Take turns picking out a popsicle stick and saying the word on the stick. You win the stick if you say it correctly. If someone picks the red popsicle stick then everyone has to put their popsicle sticks back in the cup and start over.
