Sight words are the words most commonly used in written text. Oftentimes, these words can not be sounded out, rather need to be memorized. Teaching your child the top sight words will help them to become a stronger reader with fluency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They should be able to read these words quickly, without needing to stop and sound them out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows me to enrich and extend the learning at school. Since our tot-school theme of the week is apples, we kept the same theme =)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Cover the corkboard with a construction paper color of your choice. I used blue. We also had a “big kid” book club where a group of 4-5 year olds got together and read apple stories. I just bought the collection of apple books and Lalaloopsy: Let’s Pick Apples!<\/a> We shared these books at book club and brought a sight word memory game for the kids to make and a coloring page for the younger siblings. I was surprised that the kids just wanted to make the game, but not play it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They were more interested in hiding the construction paper apples that were labeled with numbers 1-10, finding them, and putting the apples in order! My goal was to get them working and learning together, so even if they did it with another activity – SUCCESS!<\/p>\n\n\n For More Grade School Activities here at The Educators’ Spin On It, we recommend reading about our Letter A themed adventures<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\nApple Sight Words Game, A Playful Learning Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
