Tips

Make it fun. Although learning sight words requires memorization, you can play simple games with the cards that will help make this learning fun. For example, spread the cards face down on a table and let your child pick one card at a time by saying, “Eeeny, meeny, miney, mo. I’ll pick a card that I know!” Direct your child to pick the last card he touches as he reaches the end of the rhyme. Playful elements such as the silly rhyme and allowing your child to pick his own card will help keep your child engaged and having fun. Info found at School Sparks
