When they find a match, they say the word out loud to reinforce their recognition and pronunciation. This activity is interactive and helps students to visually and verbally reinforce their memory of sight words. It’s important to encourage participation from all students and to celebrate their successes, no matter how small. For variation, consider having students find matches in pairs, use a timer for a fun challenge, or have them act out the word if it’s an action word.
