Sight Words
Dear Parents,
Use the lists of words above to practice sight words at home. Here are a few suggestions. Make a deck of sight word cards using 3x5 cards.
 |
Play bingo - draw a six square board on plain paper, write the words to review randomly on the board, use the deck of cards as calling cards. |
|
|
Play Go Fish or Memory, for this you will need two sets of words to be reviewed. |
|
|
Use any board game, instead of rolling the dice use a deck of sight word cards and move one space for each letter in the word. |
|
|
Play Tic Tac Toe, instead of x's and o's use sight words. |
|
|
Write the words in shaving cream or sand. |
|
|
Write the words in rainbow colors using 4 or 5 different colors to trace a word, write the words with paint, chalk, markers, or with a wet paint brush. |
|
|
Highlight words in magazines or newspapers. |
|
|
Play Guess my word. One player chooses a word from a selected set of words without telling the others. Player 2 tries to guess the word always spelling his guess. For example, player 2 might say, Is the word big. . .b-i-g? Player one responds yes or no and spells the word back again. |

Read, read, read, and read as often as possible. |
