Top 5 ways to teach your kindergartener sight words
Featured post
One of the most helpful steps when teaching a preschool or kindergarten aged student to read is helping them to create a bank of words that they can recognize instantly. The goal is to be familiar with these common words right away without a lot of effort. They are often called sight words or high frequency words. These are the words that appear most frequently in text. They are often called sight words because a child can learn to recognize them by sight rather than needing all the tools to sound them out. Practicing and memorizing sight words can make reading so much easier and fun! One of my go to strategies to get little ones excited to read is using sight word flash cards. Skillmatics has great sets of flashcards that make learning fun and interactive.
