Sight Word List

Each of my students have a sight word list card that correlates with his/her homework star punch card they are practicing at home. 

All I do is add their initials at the top of their sight word list with a black sharpie.  Just in case it falls on the floor. Wink! Wink!

CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT OUR STAR CARD HOMEWORK PUNCH CARDS.

When they are ready to move onto the next card...I color over their initials with a black expo marker and wipe away with a tissue.  SO EASY!

Then...I add their initials to the next sight word list. 

This is a great way to keep it at their level and self-paced.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR "BOOK BUCKETS"?

Introducing Sight Words

There are many ways to make learning new sight words engaging and effective. 

Here is how we do it in our classroom.

The M & M Game!

It is played just like the game "Hangman".

Except...we build this cute little M & M Guy!

Mrs. Osterman won this game (big smiley face)!

The new sight word was "like".

We use these "counting voices" to repeat how to spell the new sight word. 

It makes it more fun...even when they are sight words!

Your kiddos will LOVE them!
