Sight Words in Sentences

Whether students are learning in person or at a distance, teachers have one common goal in mind. All work tirelessly to keep students focused! However, that is harder than ever this school year. Between sitting behind a computer or wearing a mask, it is so hard for students to stay engaged! Therefore, it is more important than ever to bring in fresh, exciting resources. Using Boom Cards to teach sight words sentences in kindergarten and first-grade will be a game-changer in your classroom! Teach by Michelle Allison has incredible resources to turn students into lifelong readers!

Phonics Instruction

Becoming a strong reader starts with solid phonics instruction. When students are in kindergarten and first grade, the brain is learning how to sound out words. Therefore, it is vital that students learn how letters have a sound. Then, they can begin to understand how the sounds come together to make words. Additionally, it is vital to remember that phonics instruction takes time. For example, students may begin with individual sounds and sight words in kindergarten. Then, in first grade, they can progress to consonant blends, digraphs, and vowel sounds. Students will not naturally become fluent readers overnight, so engaging activities are key to hold their interest.

Sight Words Sentences in Kindergarten and First Grade

When learning sight words, students may become overwhelmed. At the same time, it is essential that all students learn them in order to develop into readers. Since the majority of our texts are made up of the same words, learning sight words will help automatically recognize words. Therefore, students do not have to sound out every single word. Equally important, sight word knowledge will lead to increased comprehension! Since sight words are memorized, students will not have to pause as much while reading. For example, imagine how frustrating it would be if a student needed to stop to sound out every word! While teachers would be proud to see this skill, the student would not remember what is being read. Therefore, knowing sight words will greatly help students become stronger readers.
