Permit's Play – Create Sight Words

Children build a sight discussion by choosing a sight word card, say the give-and-take out loud, look at each letter in the word and re-create (build) the word using the wooden letters. One time they accept built the sight word, they cover each letter with small glass gems.

Some decoding strategies to try when learning sight words:

2. Expect for smaller words within the sight discussion, such as 'that' likewise has 'hat' and 'at' in it.
3. Look for letter patterns such as 'thursday' in the sight word 'the'.
4. Is there something interesting about the give-and-take, such as 'was' sounds like it has a 'o' and a 'z' in it but it doesn't and it also make the discussion 'saw' when written backwards.
5. Say the sight give-and-take in a sentence.
6. Find the sight word in a book.

Children and then build the number 34 using the wooden numbers and place the glass gems on height.
