Sight word

This lesson won’t be a game. Partner work is beneficial for young students as long as they follow the class rules of a “turn and talk” activity. The rules in my class for partner work are: turn and look at your partner, listen to their words, when it’s your turn speak so your partner can hear you, turn back to the front of the room, wait quietly for everyone to finish. Keeping your students excited about learning is important. Having fun activities like a relay race or “turn and talk” breaks up the day and allows the students to unwind while still learning or retaining information. At the end of the day, the students will pack up their bags and wait patiently for their bus number to be called for dismissal. During this time, students can talk with friends quietly, find a silent reading book and sit in the reading center, or even draw a picture in the art center. As the busses are being called, I will stand at the door with flashcards. On the flashcards will be a sight word, or just a word, when a students’ bus number is called, that student must tell me what the sight word is or tell me how many syllables are in the word. They must answer the question correctly to leave the room. If the student misses three words in a row, they can leave but they have to do it again when they walk into the classroom the next…

The first phase of sight word development consists of the pre-alphabetic phase. Ehri (1995) stated that during this phase, "beginners remember how to read words by forming connections between selected visual attributes of words and their pronunciations or meanings and storing these associations in memory" (p. 118). Children at this phase have not advanced any alphabet knowledge. Instead, children can read sight words by memorizing the visual signals around or in the word (Gaskin, Ehri, Cress,…

shown when Don John unfolds his tale of Hero's lack of sexual virtue. At the conclusion of which Claudio simply utters: May this be so?
