Teach Sight Words

Lesson
Display the sight word.
Point to the word as you say it.
Have a student come up with an action to do when they read their sight word flashcards.
Use the sight word in a few sentences - emphasize the sight word. (say it a tad louder)
Have a couple students share a sentence using the sight word.
Have all the students share a sentence using the sight word with a partner.
Tell the students to take a mental picture of the word.
    (Have them use their hands and hold a pretend camera to grab attention.)
Powerpoint practice with missing letter.  (or just do this with writing on the white board)
    Powerpoint displays the word. When the students close their eyes, you switch the slide.
    The sight word is not missing a letter. Have the students shout out the missing letter. Have a 
    student write in the missing letter.
   Repeat with different missing letters until the only thing left is to have the students spell the entire  word.
 Identify the word in sentences when you are doing shared/guided reading and in anything else.

Independent Student Practice
Word Hunt (Write the room)
Word stick: walk around with the stick and place it on something and use the sight word in connection. (THE table, THE phone / HE is my friend., HE is wearing red.)
Build the word: Using stamps, magnetic letters, letters squares.)
