What are sight words you ask ?

Sight words are words, like come, does, or who, that don’t follow the rules of spelling or sylables.  These words have to be memorized because decoding them can be quite tricky. Students are taught to memorize them by sight. Put simply; sight words are words we teach our young readers to know by heart, so that they can recognize them immediately (within 3 seconds) and read them without having to use decoding skills.

This link goes directly to Jack Hartman's Level A sight word song for the word "am". Once you click on this link, the rest of the sight word videos will appear on the right hand side of the screen. These words are also found in your child's yellow duo-tang. Students at this time are working at various levels in the class, try a couple of these videos out per day! Once your child has mastered the words you are practicing go on to the next 2 videos. :)
