We work daily in class on reading strategies to help us comprehend. One important one is fluency, which is greatly enhanced through practice and the quick recognition of "sight words". These words are called "sight words" because they are seen very often in print and we should know them immediately upon seeing them. In class we work on expanding our personal sight word lists to improve our fluency, and therefore our comprehension.
For our home extension activities I have encouraged the students to make sight word flash cards to practice regularly. For this we are using Dr. Edward B. Fry's sight word list. For more information on the selection of these words, as well as the lists, please click on this link.
