SIGHT WORD 1ST GRADE AND STORIES HOW TO

I knew I needed to do something to get these little kiddos on track with sight word fluency.

For struggling students, this can easily throw them off. However, our AIMSweb progress monitoring and most of the books we read have a kind of Times New Roman font to them. My flashcards currently are a nice “handprint” font. As strange as that may sound, I do believe this change in font makes a difference. The students will be tested weekly for mastery. The daily practice is designed to help the students build reading fluency.

Students may also add pictures to help their comprehension of each story. Sight Words: These lists contain the first 100 and 200 words from the Fry Instant Word Lists (1980).The students will be required to know how to read the words on each set. These stories may be printed out and read often. I believe it is a combination of putting an entire phrase together AND seeing the words in a variety of font. I created these stories to help students understand and remember the Dolch words in a comprehensive format. However, these same students will see the word “was” within our guided reading book or our AIMSweb assessments, and begin to tap out or sound the word out.

They are awesome at flashcards and can read the word “was” quickly and effortlessly. I have been pulling my hair out trying to transfer the sight words from the flashcards into the books and text we’re reading. It was so nice to relax for the day and visit with all of our family.ĭo you have students who can read sight words quickly on a flashcard but then struggle to read them within the context of a story?

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving.
