Most new readers need to read sight words many times to master them. Our challenge as teachers is to keep the practice frequent, diverse, and interesting. Here's one easy way to do just that with your mid-year kindergarteners through early first graders.
On this set of sign-in sheets, students respond to simple yes/no statements by signing their name. The statements are packed with sight words like have, to, like, can, etc. ... more repetitions=faster mastery! There's a blank template for your own ideas.
Super ideas in this set!!! Thanks for sharing...

Great idea. Thanks for the b&w copies option!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Julie! The laminated option is not my favorite on this one... that ink can be a lot to handle when you're a new writer.

Cute idea. I really like your site because I teach K-2 and need a rotating supply of materials when I loop with my kids. I'm your newest follower!

Thanks, Lisa - and thanks also for following!
DeleteMy last 10 years in first grade were in a literacy intervention class, so my students basically came to me like mid-year kindergarteners in some aspects. That being said, you will definitely find the grade level range here! :)

I love this. My computer would not open it. Is there any way you would email it to me?

Thanks! You also reminded me how I used them in previous years... This year we started a new math series and haven't covered tally marks. When students sign in I have a 3 column chart and write a sentence at the top (like the ones you made) and students use a dry erase marker to put their mark down. Unfortunately I feel like I run out of sentence ideas...these will be great! Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to practice tally marks - thanks for sharing!

You're most welcome, Michelle! You never know just what the "hook" will be to help a struggling learner remember a new sight word or two!
