- Home reading went home today! Here is a little more information about sight words:
As part of the Home Reading program, students need to
practice sight words along with the leveled books. The sight word lists can be
found on the parent resource section of the blog.
As you practice nightly reading, please choose a few words
to focus on each week with your child.
Students can find the words in their books, as they are reading and/or
practice spelling them in the air or on the table with imaginary pencils. Also,
you can build sight words with playdough, pipe cleaners and small materials
like buttons. Websites like www.starfall.com and www.abcya.com can help too. Frequent exposure
to these words will help to increase their reading fluency.
Please find the sight words here and here.
