Write sight words onto flash cards (one word per card) and put these into two child decorated boxes, such as shoe boxes. One box is for "Words I know" and the other box is for "Words I Want to Know". Have your child read the "Words I Know". Using these known sight words, your child can make sentences, spell some of these words, think of words that rhyme with them or try to find these words in stories being read. Review the "Words I Want to Know" together. Talk about the shape of the word, the number of letters in the word, the sounds in the word, and begin to recognize what it looks like. Once each word is consolidated, add it to the "Words I know" box and celebrate being able to read another word! Have fun developing a sight word vocabulary!
