Sight Word Learning Update

Tips:

Give your child 5 seconds to identify the word. After 5 seconds, say the word for them and ask them to repeat it after you. Then, move on to the next word.
Use the full group of words to play sight word bingo and sight word matching game. This will help to develop your child's visual discrimination skills as they are learning how to differentiate between words, their shapes and sizes. It is ok if they don't know all of the words in the bingo game, they are becoming more familiar with them by playing the game with you and by repeating the words after you.
10-15 minutes a day working on sight words is plenty of time!

Choose three words from the sight word group(she, he, can, call, little, like, what, where, new, me, we) that your child isn't sure of yet to focus on for this week. For example: she, like and me

Here are some more hands-on/fun activities to do with the three sight words you have chosen for this week - you could try a different activity each day if you like!

Design your own sight word carpark or print the attached template. Write the 3 sight words in the car parking spaces. Ask your child to take out their favourite toy vehicle. Call out a word and your child must park their car into the space with that word.
Go large! Make an outdoor sight word carpark using chalk. When you call the word, your child can park their gokart/bike/skateboard/remote control car in the correct space.
Sight word bowling: Stick the 3 sight words on to plastic bottles. Call out a word for your child to knock over using a ball (see picture below)
Build a word: Stick each letter of a word on a different block. Use the blocks to build the words (see picture)

It is hard to believe we are on week three already. I hope you are all keeping safe and well. I hope you are finding the updates useful and easy to access. There is no pressure to complete everything, just do the activities that work for you and your family. If you need anything or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me: misstansey2020@gmail.com. You are all doing a brilliant job and your child will have such lovely memories of spending this extra time with you at home.

Have a good week everyone, stay safe and well!
