Sight Words Adventure – What are sight words? – Words we know by seeing, not sounding out – Sight words make reading easier – They help us read quickly and without stopping – Some sight words are rule-breakers – Not all words play by the phonics rules – Practice makes perfect | This slide introduces the concept of sight words to Pre-K students. Sight words are commonly used words that young readers are encouraged to memorize as a whole by sight, so they can automatically recognize these words in text without having to use any strategies to decode. Explain that knowing sight words helps in reading more fluently and confidently. Highlight that some sight words are ‘rule-breakers’ and don’t fit the standard phonetic patterns, making them tricky to sound out. Encourage students to practice these words regularly to improve their reading skills. Activities can include sight word flashcards, matching games, or finding sight words in a book. The goal is to make them familiar with these words to the point of instant recognition.

Start by showing the words ‘the’, ‘and’, ‘you’, ‘that’ and encourage the children to repeat them. Explain that these words are special because they appear very often in stories and books. Engage the students by asking them to look around the classroom for any of these words, perhaps on posters or in books available in the reading corner. Finally, have a matching game ready where students can practice finding and matching pairs of the same sight word. This interactive approach helps to reinforce their recognition of these words in a fun and engaging way.

Sight Word Matching Game – Find pairs of the same sight word – Say the word aloud with the class – Get ready to match words – Have fun learning sight words! | This slide introduces a class activity focused on recognizing and matching sight words, which are common words that children should learn to recognize on sight. The activity is designed to be interactive and fun, encouraging students to participate actively. As the teacher, you will facilitate the game by displaying pairs of sight words and guiding the students to find matches. When a pair is found, the class will say the word together, reinforcing their recognition and pronunciation of the word. Prepare a set of sight word cards in advance, ensuring there are pairs for students to match. Consider the attention span of Pre-K students and keep the activity lively and engaging. You can also differentiate the activity by having varying levels of difficulty with the sight words for children at different learning stages.

This activity helps students in recognizing and reading sight words quickly, which is essential for their reading development. It’s a fun and interactive way to reinforce their learning. Teachers should ensure that each student gets a turn and encourage them to say the words aloud as they find their matches. The activity can be varied by using different sight words and by increasing the number of flashcards as students become more proficient.

Let’s Play a Sight Word Memory Game! – We’re playing a memory game – Turn over two cards at a time – Do the sight words match? – Look at the words carefully, do they look exactly the same? – If they match, you found a pair! | This slide introduces a class activity designed to help Pre-k students recognize and match sight words. The memory game involves turning over cards to find pairs of matching sight words. Teachers should prepare cards with sight words before the class and ensure each word has a pair. During the activity, guide the students to turn over two cards at a time and check if the sight words are the same. If they find a matching pair, they keep the cards. If not, they turn them back over and try to remember the location for future turns. This game helps with word recognition and memory skills. Possible variations of the activity could include using words and corresponding pictures, having students say the word aloud when they turn over a card, or playing in small groups for collaborative learning.
