Research “As early readers build automaticity with
sight words and decoding strategies, their fluency should improve.”
Allington (2009)
“There is evidence that children rely on a range of different reading processes in their develop of early sight word reading and that this enable children to become more proficient in learning to read.”
Farrington-Flint, Coyne, Stiller, & Heath (2008)

The Basics Students should be taught at least one
sight word EVERY lesson. You need to help students build visual
memory, and increase their bank of high-frequency words.
The same sight word should be taught for two days, and longer if needed.
Don’t introduce a new sight word until the original is mastered.

Let’s See It In Action
![Page 8: Sight Word Instruction](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816455550346895dd620ef/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What’s Missing? Write the word on the whiteboard, so the
students can see you write it. Point to the letters while you have the
students chorally spell the word. Turn the board towards you and erase a
letter. Turn it back around and have a student tell you what’s missing. Write the letter when as the child tells you the answer.
Continue to erase different letters until the entire word is erased.

Mix & Fix In advance, prepare cups containing the
sight word, using magnetic letters. Each child will need his/her own.
Give each child a cup and a whiteboard. They are to put the letters in the correct order. Have them check their answers by sliding their finger under it.
The student should pull each letter down from left to right to remake it, and check.
Then, the student should scramble the word, and fix it.

Table Writing Collect the magnetic letters. Have the students “write” the word
with their finger. Encourage them to say the word as
they write it, and check it with their finger.

Whiteboards Once the child has traced the word
correctly with his/her finger, give him/her a dry-erase marker.
The student should write the sight word, and say it as he/she does so.

Day 2 Repeat the process with the same sight
word. At the beginning of the lesson, review a
sight word from a previous lesson (not this same lesson).
Spend a third day on the same sight word if necessary.
