The ABC Song: Idea #259

Looking for fun ways to practice sight words? Try singing some of those sight words to the tune of The ABC's. I found the clever idea on this website. Here is what you do:

1. Choose 26 sight words you would like your student to practice reading.

2. Write each sight word neatly on a separate index card. Then place the cards in a pocket chart. You could also put magnets on the back of the index cards and hang them up on the white board.

3. Get out your favorite pointer stick to help lead the students in the song. Point to each word as you all sing it to the tune of The ABC's.

4. If your students really enjoy singing their sight words, you might try reading the words to another tune like BINGO or Row, Row, Row Your Boat.

Have fun making music!
