Ideas for Teaching Sight Words

Amanda Leger | Wichita Collegiate School | Wichita, KS

Sight Words are common English words that can't be sounded out, so they have to be memorized. Here are some easy yet effective ideas for using songs, flashcards, and a game to help children learn and recognize sight words.

I'm a 24 year veterans teacher. I've taught K-2. SIGHT WORDS CAN BE TAUGHT TO SOUND OUT. Look up the Science of Reading and Heart words. You can explicitly teach them and map them out. 😀

I really like that you explained that the pronunciation depends on what region you're from. Some people automatically assume something is pronounced wrong if it's not pronounced the same way as their part of the country.

I am a teacher and psychopedagogist here in Brazil. I loved your channel!

I cannot tell you how many hours I've been looking for examples to teach sight words to one of my students. They're already doing a great job with some, but I feel like the dice game might be a hit for them! THANK YOU for this!!

Thank you so much!!! I came to you tube for some ideas to get my son interested in learning sight words because I cannot keep him focused on his homework at all. He loves the idea of the dice game and asked me if we can play it this afternoon after school. (Thank you from Queensland, Australia)

My daughter has to know 100 sight words by the end of this year in order to go to 1st grade, I've tried everything, I really hope this works.
