We
all know how important it is for students to learn sight words to become better
readers and writers. One of the basic ways to do this is using flash cards. In
my kindergarten class we had a saying that “Practice
Makes Better” and once the kinders bought into that concept they were
amazed at how quickly they learned specific skills. My district finally decided
on a specific list of words and I immediately made flash cards for my class. I
noticed a marked improvement in their ability to read and write within weeks of
introducing the flashcards. We read through the words every day during Calendar Time and another
activity that also helped was showing a Power Point slideshow of the list we
were working on. Some of the ways we used the slide show included: reading the
words, finding the words on our sight word mat, and writing the words on
individual dry erase boards. At the end of this post you’ll find a link to a FREEBIE!
It’s the Teachers College Sight Word List A Slide Show and Printable Sight Word
Mat.
I just uploaded flash cards for the Teachers
College Sight Words Lists A-H on TpT. Click on the link to grab a set for
$1.00! I am also super excited to be
working on some fun activities to help students practice their sight words
during centers. Some of the activities for each list include: Write the Room, Spin, Read and Write, Mirror
Writing, I Have-Who Has, and I Spy. Check my TpT store in the new few weeks as I
get these activities completed.
And
now, here is your FREEBIE!
