Helping Your Pre-Ker with Sight Words
Learning sight words is such an important first step in literacy. Sight words are truly some of the first words a child will learn how to read. But how can you help your pre-ker with sight words?
- Have them listen for and repeat sight words.
This is especially fun to do while reading a story!
- Repetition
Seeing and practicing the same word over and over is one of the best ways for a child to truly learn their sight words.
- Sight Words in context
Seeing the sight words being used in a sentence so they have a meaning can also be extremely helpful for young learners.
- Music
There are so many songs out there for sight words! Some of our favorites are the color songs by frog street press! (Yes, colors are sight words!)
- Games
Play games with your child to help with recognition and repetition. Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHnfRZ-D0Aw for a fun game!
