For my vocabulary lesson with the kids, I am going to continue working on sight words with my students.
I am going to get the next group of sight words from my CT that we will be using in the class and I will go over the words with my students.
I will then have the students practice reading and writing these words. I will have them write each word three times so they can practice spelling it and seeing it, and I will put the words on big note cards and mix them up and have the students practice going through all of the words until they get them down. The students will also be able to practice the words when I am not in the classroom when the teacher feels it appropriate to practice them.

All readers need to have a bank of sight words so they don't have to individually sound out each word. This saves a reader time and allows for more energy to be put toward actually comprehending the meaning of the text. I like your lesson in that it is a simple and straightforward way to teach the students sight word vocabulary. There is no reason to go too in depth with the lesson because sight words come up so often that this lesson really is ongoing.
ReplyDeleteMy class is just like yours in that the teacher is always pointing out sight words and working on teaching them to the children. In my class they are referred to as 'popcorn' words because they pop up so often. When they encounter a 'popcorn' word in their writing or reading, they will sometimes draw a piece of popcorn around the word. I think this is good for kindergarten because the students can identify with and easily remember the word popcorn.
