![]() Then just call your kids back to your desktop computer one at a time (or test them off of an iPad or laptop computer anywhere in your room) and ask them their sight words. This will probably work out well for you if you are nearing the end of the school year anyway! Once you get your kids' names into the system, then you can easily add the tests that I already created and use my list of sight words and my tests (they are free!) or you can make your own tests with your own words. HOW would I EVER get that done?" Well, here is a tip: all you need to do is sign up for a sixty day free trial of ESGI software. ![]() ![]() Only Send Home Flashcards for the Words Kids Need to Learn It SURE would make everything SO much easier! Usually, once they have learned to read the word, they can also spell it as well! I only wish I had the rest of the sight words also recorded in song. And for the struggling learners, this can be REALLY hard! I actually sent home sight word DVDs with my first graders this year, and I know that this helped the ones that enjoy it tremendously. (Available on CD, DVD, and streaming on our HeidiSongs Video Streaming Site.) Although I do have a lot of word songs recorded, we are now at the point in the first grade year that we have run out of sight word songs! We simply don't have enough recorded, so the children have to learn the rest the old fashioned way. You can also download the list of 300 additional words that my second graders had to learn here.Īll of the first grade teachers at my school (and Kindergarten!) are using my HeidiSongs Sight Word Songs to help teach kids to recognize and spell the sight words. You can download the list of 300 first grade sight words here. After that, words 51-75 formed list 1-B, and words 76-100 formed list 1-C. The only exception is the first list of one hundred words, which I only split into three chunks, because most of the children learned the first 50 words in Kindergarten, so those 50 words made up list 1-A. The list that my district gives us is broken down into three lists of one hundred words each, but in my opinion, this is still too much for a six year old to handle! I took each list of one hundred words and split them into four lists of 25 words each. So break it down into smaller, easier to handle chunks! Even if a child is fortunate enough to have a parent that is willing to help, I firmly believe that sending home a list of 300 words for the child to learn is a big mistake! A busy parent will be just as overwhelmed with this as a child. The most important thing you can do to help a struggling learner is to avoid giving them too many words to learn all at the same time. Three hundred new words is an overwhelming amount to give any child to learn, whether they are in first grade, second grade, or beyond. ![]()
