Sight words are an essential part of early childhood reading and writing. Many sight words are not easily decodable. But even when they are, all sight words are found in texts so often that knowing how to easily read and spell them allows children to focus their energy on other words that are not as familiar. Even the youngest children can benefit from sight word exposure. Some children will learn sight words easily, while others will need repeated exposure. This class is for all children. 

Each week we will explore one, sometimes two new sight words.

We will look closely at the word, discuss any tricky sounds, read, chant, and tap to spell the word. I will variously use movement, worksheets, text, visual aids, and slides to help teach the new word. After class, I will send optional worksheets and/or activity ideas for the students to complete. This will help reinforce the new sight word. I will be pulling from Dolch sight word lists.

For class, children should have a marker or dark crayon, pencil, dry erase board, and markers ready. If you do not have a dry erase board, no worries, please just have some colors and paper ready.

Below is an example of what a class session could look like.
2-minute Hello
11-minute Word work
2-minute Goodbye
This class may occasionally go over by 2-5 minutes.

Feel free to take a photo and send your student’s homework back to me. I will respond enthusiastically. My children have always been motivated by teacher praise!

I hope to see you there!
