In October another K teacher told me that she was determined to make sure that her children left reading at least 100 sight words. I promptly panicked and made this list about what I would do for my own children.
Three months later, I don't feel as determined about sight words. I think that they are really important, and I definitely need everyone to read 25-50 or I will die, but memorizing words isn't something I want to waste too much time with. We read our word wall every day, and I am introducing 3 words a week. Do I make my kids personalized flashcards any more? No. On the other hand, that means that I have introduced about 35 words, and my kids know an average of 15 per student. I don't feel great admitting that.
