Wikki Stix: Idea #202

Hands-on activities are an absolute must when a child is learning. To enhance your student's learning, try using wikki stix. Kids love their texture and easy mobility. You can even buy them in fun colors. When practicing sight words, or any words for that matter, try doing this:

1. Write down 10-12 words you would like your student to master reading.

2. Print each word in large font on an 8.5x11 piece of cardstock paper.

3. Make sure to laminate each page.

4. Give your student one of the pages and have them use wikki stix to trace the word. 

5. Try quizzing your student on the words after they have traced three or four words. 

6. When your student has completed tracing every word, use the pages as flashcards and quiz your student on them. 

Your student will enjoy learning sight words this way!
