Sight Words
Sight words are words that are commonly found in reading and are an important part of reading fluency and comprehension. Please take the time each evening to practice the assigned words. Below you will find the K sight words organized by quarter. Please feel free to work ahead if you child is ready. I will also post the 1st grade words sometime in November/December. Your child will be assessed quarterly. Sight word mastery is part of our Kindergarten Report Card.
Ways to help your child master sight words:
Use play dough or clay to form letters and words.
Post words on circles around your child's bedroom door making a caterpillar. Have them read them as the exit their room.
Place sight words on the floor in a pathway and have your child jump onto each word and say it. Make the pathway to the couch, kitchen table, bedroom, etc...
Find words when you are at the store or on billboards, building signs etc...
Use water and a brush to write the words on the sidewalk. or use sidewalk chalk.
Play a game of hangman using sight words.
