What are sight words?!​

Throughout the year, your child will be responsible for recognizing, reading, and spelling new sight words each week. These are words that are frequently used in writing and reading and are meant to boost confidence in these literacy components for beginning readers. We encourage children to memorize these words (and practice them at home) because they don't always "follow the rules" of sounding out.

Each week we will focus on specific sight words by completing hands on activities, learning songs, and repeating snap motions which will aid in their memorization.  Every Friday, we will have a sight word assessment where your child will read all of our new sight words along with all of the previous sight words they have learned! This list is here for you to refer to so that you know what new words your child is learning, and how many new words they will know by the end of the year! :) ​
