Sight words are so important and for that reason taught in many different ways throughout the year. I would love to be able to tell you that there are 5 words each week all the kids are learning. However that would require me to teach all of the children the same words in a one-size-fits-all approach. This would be much easier for me true but not what is best for the kids. Years of experience have taught me that kids come to kindergarten knowing some, none, or all of the words. For that reason I teach the words during small reading groups. Each group is working on 2-3 new words each week. We won't move to new words until the kids in that group can read and write those words. Some weeks it takes longer and words spill into the following week but we never move on until they can read and write the words. I know many parents want to work on these words at home so I'm going to attach some resources to the bottom of this post including the lists of words. This link will take you to my favorite sight word tool. It's a collection of videos from Heidi Songs that helps the kids learn these words by singing and dancing. Comments are closed.
