Sight Words

Below is the list of sight words your child needs to know. Most are from our reading series, Harcourt Trophies. As a team, the kindergarten teachers decided to add a few more. If and when students are ready, I have added more sight words for students to know. If it is a Harcourt Trophies word (which your child will be assessed on), you will see HT next to it. If it is a word the Kindergarten team chose, you will see KT beside it. Finally, if it is a word I decided to add, you will see MC beside it. Remember, students need to know all of these words. The best way to practice sight words is by finding them while reading. You may also use the flashcards provided in your child's STAR binder. Please remember to put the cards back when finished. I also provided a worksheet for each sight word. You will recognize them as homework sheets. If you would like your child to do the sheets again, feel free to print them out. I provided two options: .doc files (Microsoft Word) or .pdf (Adobe Acrobat Reader). If you need to use the Adobe Acrobat file, but do not have the program, please go here. The Adobe Reader is free! Below the list of sight words you will find a basic schedule for how I introduce sight words.

Monday- On Monday I introduce two sight words (one at a time). I have all the sight words written on sentence strips. I follow this format:
1. Show the word on the sentence strip.
2. Say new word and use it in a sentence.
3. Students chant the word ("Give me the letter "t" Give me the letter "h" Give me the letter "e" Word word is it? "The!"
4. Students learn the sight word song from HeidiSongs.com
Repeat steps above for next word.

Tuesday
1. Repeat Monday activities.

Wednesday
1. Repeat Monday activities.
2. If one of the words has a spelling pattern (such as "make"/"ake"), the class will come up with rhyming words.

Thursday
1. Students call out, chant and write new words for the week on an individual white board.

Friday
1. Students call out and chant new words.
2. Students call out and chant previous words.
