Tracing Sight Words

We started using a sight word notebook today. This will keep most of the sight word practice in one place. Today, I wrote all the sight words in pen. Then I directed my daughter to trace the word have in yellow; then the word am in purple, and so forth. A fun way to practice identifying the words.
