Sight Words
*Using old newspapers or magazines cut out the letters needed to build 3 of your sight words and build them.
*Sight Word hopscotch: Create a hopscotch board. Write sight words in the squares and call out the words before you hop on the square.
Review your A - C Level sight words:
I, a, am, at, can, go, is, like, me, see, the,
to, dad, he, in, it, look, mom, my, on, up, we,
and, are, come, for, got, here, not, play, said, you.
Review these sight words with these videos

If your child knows the A-C sight words, they can try the D-F sight words:
day, down, into, looking, she, they, went, where, will, your,
all, away, back, big, her, over, this, want, who, with,
came, have, help, next, now, one, some, then, was, what.

If your child knows the D-F sight words, they can try the G-H:

again, because, could, does, every, laugh, many, new, night, very, walk, why.
