Sight Word Practice: Idea #91

When your student has mastered letter sounds, have them practice sight words. Sight words are words that kids see all the time when they read but are more difficult to sound out. You can find a Kindergarten Sight Word List on the following website: http://www.education.com/magazine/article/prekindergartensightwords/. 

When practicing these words with your student, have them do four simple things with each word:

1. trace the word

2. write the word (on their own)

3. read the word 

4. draw a picture of the word

You will be amazed at how much this helps your student learn the sight words. Have fun watching your student progress in their reading skills.
