Top 5 ways to teach your kindergartener sight words

Featured post

Feb 05, 2023

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.

Why flash cards are an effective learning tool for kids

I often advise parents of school-aged children to use flashcards at home or on the road as a great way to support the learning that happens in the classroom. The Skillmatics cards are also fabulous because the sturdy, double sided flashcards with realistic imagery work wonders for developing language in toddlers! I encourage you to grab the Skillmatics flashcards for an enjoyable learning experience while bonding and having a great time with your child(ren) or students. Enjoy!
