Sight Word Practice!

February 16, 2014 misskindergarten 20 Comments

I’ve mentioned this before and I will definitely mention it again, I LOVE to teach sight words! We practice, practice, practice, any chance we get! It is so exciting to witness my students turn into readers, and they get SO excited when they see a word they know! We stick pretty closely to our Houghton Mifflin curriculum of focusing on one sight word per week, which I find really helps my students be successful. We do informally teach other sight words that aren’t in our curriculum, but that our students see frequently {like “look” and “can”}. All of our words go up on our word wall after we teach them, and then it’s reinforcement time! I’m going to walk you through a little snippet of our week and then share some great sight word center ideas!
On Monday, we introduce our new word. We talk about the “tricky” part of the word, and what we need to remember. In “see”, we have to remember the extra “e”.

We love to use this chant when we introduce our new sight words. The kids have been enjoying practicing the word in so many different ways!
{click here to download}Then we practice writing our word, filling in the missing letters and using it in a sentence.

I also stick these in write and wipe pockets and put them in our sight word centers. This way my kiddos can keep practicing throughout the week.

ย On Tuesday, we practice using the word in a scrambled sentence.
{I updated these to include the sight word on each page because I was getting confused and couldn’t keep them all straight!}
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sight-Word-Writing-Practice-BUNDLE-Pack-348849
The students cut the words apart and put them in the correct order using the
capital letter and periods as clues. Once it’s in the correct order,
they read the sentence.
Then they make a silly sentence by scrambling the words again. They read
their silly sentence and point to each word as they read it. This is a
great way to practice reading the actual words and not relying on the
clues from the sentence to help decode, plus they think it’s hilarious!
Then they unscramble the sentence again, this time gluing it on the bottom of the page in order.
Finally, they write the sentence on the line and draw a picture to match.

So much learning in one little sheet!
On Wednesday, we practice reading, finding, writing, and stamping our sight word.
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sight-Word-Writing-Practice-BUNDLE-Pack-348849
ย Sometimes we use little bingo daubers to cover the words ๐Ÿ™‚
http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sight-Word-Writing-Practice-BUNDLE-Pack-348849
On Thursdays, we use the word in a journal write. We orally share our sentences, then we go back to our seats and the kids use their best guess spelling to complete their journals. ย Sometimes we have a sentence starter and sometimes we respond to a prompt.

Once we learn three new words, we practice them using our Spin & Write sheets. You just need a paperclip and pencil to make a spinner. I also saw these really great spinners online, I think I might just break down and buy them already!

We also love to use stamps in my room, so we practice stamping and writing our sight words too.

Later on in the year, I place our Super Sight Word spellers in the writing center, and my students practice writing the sight words in lots of fun ways!

These activities are in my *newly updated* sight word writing practice packs! You can purchase each pack separately, or save 20% by purchasing the bundle.

Now onto my favorite part, sight word centers!!!
Mary from Sharing Kindergarten just came out with a bunch of new sight word centers! They are seriously amazing! Some of my favorites are the watercolor words and the word puzzles.

And of course, you all know I’m obsessed with Maria’s interactive sight word readers!

Kristin {the Teeny Tiny Teacher ;)} has the greatest little sight word practice! You have to go to her page and read about it because she’s just hilarious like that!
http://www.ateenytinyteacher.com/2013/11/pin-it-sight-word-edition-and-freebie.html
Tara from Little Minds at Work puts magnetic letters into little tupperware dishes and has her students unscramble them. Then they write the word. I absolutely love this!

And I also love how Karen from Mrs. Jones’ Kindergarten uses magnetic letters! She has these fun little work mats that I adore!
