Each word is associated with an easy-to-remember concept or image to aid in memorization. ‘Black’ and ‘white’ are colors that can be visualized through common objects or scenarios. ‘Into’ suggests movement and can be linked to a familiar action. ‘Made’ and ‘ran’ are action words that the students can relate to past experiences. Encourage the students to use these words in sentences and to identify them in their reading. You can also use physical objects or pictures to reinforce the learning of these words. During the next class, review these words and ask the students to use them in new sentences to ensure retention.

Let’s Practice ‘black’ and ‘white’ – Identify black or white objects – Think of animals or objects that are black or white – Repeat the words ‘black’ and ‘white’ – Saying words aloud helps us remember them – Find black or white items in class – Look around to spot items with these colors – Share your findings with friends | This slide is designed to engage first graders in a fun and interactive way to practice the sight words ‘black’ and ‘white’. Start by asking the students to identify objects that are typically black or white, which could include everyday items or animals. Then, as a class, practice saying the words ‘black’ and ‘white’ together to reinforce pronunciation and recognition. Next, have the students search for items in the classroom that are black or white, which will help them associate the words with real-world objects. Finally, encourage the students to share what they found with their classmates, fostering a collaborative learning environment. This activity not only helps with sight word recognition but also enhances memory and observational skills.

Let’s Practice Sight Words: ‘into’ and ‘made’ – Using ‘into’ in a sentence – Example: ‘The cat ran into the house.’ – Crafting a sentence with ‘made’ – Example: ‘I made a drawing in art class.’ – Create your own sentences – Try to use ‘into’ and ‘made’ in new sentences. | This slide is focused on practicing the sight words ‘into’ and ‘made’. Start by demonstrating how ‘into’ is used in a sentence to show movement or action leading into a place or situation. Then, show how ‘made’ is used to indicate something that someone has created. Encourage the students to think of their own sentences using these words, which will help solidify their understanding and recall of the sight words. For the activity, students can write their sentences on a piece of paper or share them aloud in class. Offer guidance and positive reinforcement as they create their sentences. This exercise will enhance their comprehension and ability to use these sight words in context.

Let’s Practice ‘ran’ – ‘Ran’ means moving quickly – Example sentence: ‘I ran to the playground’ – Use ‘ran’ to talk about past running – Stand up and pretend to run – Let’s get active and understand ‘ran’! | This slide is designed to help first graders understand and remember the sight word ‘ran’ through a combination of explanation, example, and physical activity. Start by explaining that ‘ran’ is the past tense of ‘run’ and is used to describe moving fast. Use the example sentence to show ‘ran’ in context. Then, engage the students in a kinesthetic activity by having them stand up and pretend to run in place, which will help them associate the action with the word. This activity not only reinforces the word’s meaning but also caters to different learning styles by incorporating movement.
