FOURTH GRADE SIGHT WORDS
It is important that a young reader develop a store of sight words (words
that are recognized immediately). The larger the store of sight words a child
has, the more rapidly and fluently he or she can read.
The sight word must be “told” to the child. A parent/guardian should “show” the child the printed word. The child must “look” at the printed word when it is said. The parent/guardian should “use” the word in a sentence.
Other activities to build on your child’s sight word vocabulary:
· Point to the letters and name the letters in the sight word.
· Put the sight words on flashcards.
· Find the sight words in newspapers, magazines or books. Have children
circle the word, use a highlighter or cut the word out and make their own
list.
· Have your child: Say it! Write it! Cover it! Say it! And write it
again!
