Sight Words

10/2/2014

0 Comments

 
Sight words, or high frequency words, are words that we encounter frequently while reading and writing.  Sight words are often "rule breakers," meaning they can't be easily sounded out. Children need to "just know them."  In KG, we will focus on 1-3 sight words each week.  These words will be featured in our weekly poem, be added to our classroom word wall, and be practiced by students during literacy centers in a variety of multi sensory ways.  When students master sight words, they are able to become more fluent readers and writers.  
Our sight words from last week are I, to, and a.
This week, we are focusing on the word the.
We also have student names on our classroom word wall, as these are high frequency words in an early childhood classroom :)

Want to help at home??  
  • When you read to/with your child, point out the sight words we have learned.  
  • Ask your child to be a "sight word detective."  How many times can he/she find a specific word in a book or magazine?
