Sight Words

d

Encourage recognition of words by sight by having students compare words in the story to words on a list. Using the Read feature, they pick out the words that match those on the list as they go through the story.

Procedure

Prepare a list of words from the story that you want your students to identify. Provide students with a written list of those words.

Individually or in small groups, students collect target words into the My Words list. Ask students to open My Words and pick out words from the written list as they read, adding them to the My Words list on the screen. Students can click on a word to hear it pronounced if they aren't sure what word it is. When they have completed the exercise, the same words should appear in their My Words list as are on the written list. To vary the challenge, either list words in the order they appear in the story, or mix up the order.

As a variation, add the target words to the student's My Words list beforehand. Students can match up words by clicking on them to hear them read in the list and in the text. For extra practice, have students make sentences with the words in the Write area by copying the words into text from the My Words list.
