Learning Objectives

Students will be able to identify grade level irregularly spelled sight words.

Introduction

(15 minutes)
  • Distribute copies of the sight word list.
  • Review the words with the students, allowing them to read words with you if they know them.
  • Remind students that some words are spelled using a pattern (e.g. hat, cat, bat) and some words are not. We call these, irregularly spelled words. Many of these words are also sight words, so we practice reading and recignizing them by sight.
  • After reading the list, explain to the students that they are going to be the teacher for this activity.
  • Explain to the students that each child will take turns with a partner to practice their sight words.
