play the teacher

Play the role of the parent and ask your child to test you. Be sure to misspell a few words so that "the teacher" can correct you!

Spelling Bee

Have you child say the sight word out loud and spell it in spelling bee style (can c-a-n can). Then ask her to spell it with her eyes closed. Use your flashcards for this activity.

Hide an Seek

Hide the big foam letters. Have your child find the letters needed to spell the sight words.

Coloring

This week we have had fun practicing sight words by coloring them: I wrote ten different sight words in black marker on a piece of paper. Have your child picks out ten different color crayons.

I call out a color and a sight word for her to "color" (trace). For example: "Color they green" and she has to look at all of the words on the page and find the word they and trace it with the green crayon. Fun for her, easy for me

This link will take you to a site to print some sight word worksheets. We use these when a new sight word is introduced.

Cups

Using the letter discs you created, practice your sight words. Write each sight word on the bottom of a paper cup.



Put the letters to spell the word inside the cup


Have your child spell the sight word then self-correct by looking at the bottom of the cup.

Roll It, Read It, Write It

A great idea with a printable from here





The first printable is called Roll it. Read it. Write it. Roll the cube or dice and read the word. Write the word in one of the spaces…any one you want. Continue rolling and writing until all the spaces are full.
