The Sight Word Blog Continues!

So...I've given you the skinny on how to get the sight words I use for first grade and now it's time I let you know how I use them...I've read that a child that sees a particular word 7 times in a lesson is prone to master them more quickly. I'm finding out that this could possibly be true!
I teach from the SIGHTWORDS.com page and I use their methods in isolation which include:
See & Say, Spell Reading, Arm Tapping, Table Writing, and Corrections. THEN I add my TPT activities (using the same words for the entire week). It's crazy how easy it is to teach these words using this combination. Here is a little sample of how it flows together.

First I use the SIGHTWORDS.com method (go to their page and get the FREE printables).
                                                                                                                                  Student Copy

This is the teacher
copy.                            
Teach it following
SIGHTWORDS                            
directions. The
rest of the words
are on separate papers.

                                                                                                                                       
                                                                                       


After teaching the lesson with SIGHTWORDS.com, we get out our Interactive Sight Words Notebook and we do our follow up lesson using my Libby Learns Activity. Here is what the final project looks like:

The kids love this part because they get to cut, glue, and create. After all is said and done, the students have actually seen, heard, or wrote the sight words at least 10 times.
I have lessons created up until December.
