Throughout the first grade year, we will be working hard on adding new sight words to our reading vocabulary. Each week, students will be introduced to approximately 8 focus words for the week. Our goal for the focus words is to have students recognize them quickly and to read them without hesitation (within 2 sec.). Within the classroom, we will have many different activities to reinforce the reading of these words and we encourage parents at home to also have some fun working on these words. Ideas for word activities can include using magnet letters, playdoh, shaving cream/whipped cream, bright markers, alphabet cookie cutters, etc.
