Sight Words
Sight words are words that students will often see in their reading and are words that cannot be phonetically sounded out. We practice our sight words so that students can automatically recognize those words while they are reading. Students should be able to read, write, and use their sight words in a sentence. Your child will begin the sight word program in kindergarten and it will continue through third grade! This year, our goal is to master lists 1-5.
Here is the District 80 Sight Word List
Please remember to help your child practice their sight words at home. We will be testing your child bi-weekly and will send home those results to you. That way you can work especially hard on the words your child still needs to practice.
How can you help your child practice their sight words?
Make Flashcards and play a memory game
Find sight words in books that you read together
Write them on a white board
Make the words out of Play dough, letter tiles, or magnet letters
Type them up
Rainbow write them
