BEST WAY TO TEACH SIGHT WORDS
What is the best way to teach sight words?
Teaching sight words can be a fun and interactive process for children.
Many students are visual learners, hence using visual aids such as flash cards or videos to help students make real connections.
Set up fun sight word centers or literacy centers where students can play sight word games, such as Kaboom Games, in pairs or small groups.
Start by selecting a list of sight words that you want to teach and know that your students will use in context.
You can choose from commonly used sight words or select words that are relevant to a specific reading level.
Use flashcards or other visual aids to show the word to the child.
Say the word out loud: Pronounce the word clearly and have the child repeat it after you. This helps them to recognize the word by sound.
Show the word in context: Use the word in a sentence or short story to help the child understand its meaning.
Practice reading the word: Have the child read the word out loud several times.
You can use different activities like word hunts, Kaboom games, or writing the words in different ways to keep the practice interesting.

Remember that children learn at their own pace and give them lots of opportunities to practice in order to master each sight word.
