Here are the Dolch Pre-Primer/Primer/Grade One word lists that we will be learning throughout the year via the Sight Word Cards. We will be learning to read the color and number words to ten as well. Word Cards (10 words) will be sent home on most Fridays each week. There are a total of 16 Word Cards (160 words). ***Please have your child practice the word cards daily for instant recall of each word.*** Sight Word recognition is a great tool for reading comprehension and reading fluency. Thank you for your help in practicing these words with your child.
Here are a few Sight Word Activities that you can do with your child to help them easily recognize sight words:
1. Make two sets of the sight words and play "Go Fish and Memory" games
2. Give your child a word from the list and have them - hunt for it in their reading book - race them to see who can find it first in their reading book
3. Use Scrabble tiles or magnetic letters and ask your child to spell the words
4. Use the sight words to build sentences 5. Hide a bunch of words around the house and have your child search for them and read them to you. 6. Give your child one of the 35 Grade One spelling words and have them write it in fancy letters or with a pencil, pen, crayon, felt, highlighter etc using the template below.
