Lets make more sentences using real life objects using are sight words.

By doing this , it helps your child connect their sight words and some words they may not quit know yet , but remember we are introducing words all the time along with their sight words. This helps them connect sight words in their sentence's especially using a connection to a real life object which leads us into comprehension.

The skills we are working on is identifying our sight words and incorporating the real life object which leads to comprehension.

** Parents before starting sentence building remember to review the sight words.

next week will work on comprehension.

Part 2

Lets make a sentence incorporating a "Verb"

Parents remember to start with the previous sight words when making a sentence
remember verbs are action words in a sentence such as:, ran , eats, go,is, take and was. (
Remember some of these action words are not the sight words we have learned , but the focus is using the sight words we have learned and incorporating those into sentences . We then are introducing new words ( verbs) as part of are sentence.
keep it simple
use items they can relate to
