Ideas for at home (From Teaching Sight Words – Effective Strategies For Reading Success)

Teaching Sight Words With Games

Once children have had the opportunity to study new sight words, games are a fun, hands on way to help strengthen their retention. These games are easy to create at home or at school and can be modified based on the particular sight words a child is learning at the time.

• Wordo—Played just like the game Bingo, but this version uses sight words instead of numbers on a grid card.

Money

7-12 Objective- identify a dime and its value; find the value of a given set of coins.

• At home ideas- Get a pile of coins for your child to sort. Ask him/her about the different attributes of the coins to see if he/she knows the differences between the coins. Display a penny, a nickel, and a dime. Ask which coin is worth 1, 5, or 10 cents.

7-13 Objective- identify a quarter and its value; identify a dollar bill.

• At home idea- Display a random group of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters. Have your child sort all the coins and identify each one and its value.
