We are working hard on learning sight words in kindergarten. We will focus on four new sight words and one color word each week. At the beginning of each week a list will come home with the sight words for the week. This list will also indicate the color word we will focus on that week. Please help your child practice reading and writing the sight words each week. We will wrap up each week by wearing the color we are focusing on for that week.
Sight words are a group of very common words that good readers recognize instantly and automatically. Many of the sight words cannot be “sounded out” and they need to learned by “sight”. Because recognizing these words is so important during reading, using a variety of activities to teach, practice and memorize the words is critical in teaching children to read.
