¡Estrellas de palabras visuales para niños de preescolar!

This multi-week class will help students who are new to reading and those who need a review to gain long term mastery of the Pre-Primer Leveled Dolch Words!

We will practice fun tips and tricks to help us remember each word, build each new sight word by unscrambling letters, use different mediums (crayons, colored pencils, markers) to practice writing each new word, and read multiple sentences using our new words. It is imperative to use a variety of methods to teach sight words. Students must see the word form, must write the word, and they MUST be able to read their new words in context. 

Many students may be able to recite a word off a flash card after they have reviewed it a few times, but it is very different when the student is asked to read this same word when in a story or in a sentence written. Students often have a difficult time remembering these words when asked to read them in a sentence or story. In my own classroom, I have seen this with countless students, which is why I always have my students practice reading sight words in sentences. This is the key to not only being able to recognize a word in text, but to be able to read it fluently as well!

I continuously include previously practiced words each lesson to gain long term mastery of all words. Sight words are similar to letters and sounds, in which if students do not practice frequently, they are difficult to remember past a short term period. My goal is for all of my students to successfully read all sight words in any text with confidence and precision. =)
