sight words

I am really trying to find ways to make sure my kids meet the 100-sight-words goal for the end of the year. In an effort to better maintain and incorporate sight words I am:

  • Introducing 3 per week now, to be upped to 4 in January
  • Hanging them by the door so that every child has to read them coming in or going out of the classroom
  • Starting the day by reading the Word Wall with my class
  • Putting differentiated flashcards at every child's seat for them to practice
  • Giving "spelling tests" each week to get a general idea of progress
  • Tracking which words they know, rather than just how many (this should have been more obvious last year, but I didn't have a good system)
  • Considering completely redoing the Word Wall
