Sight Word Practice Activities · Create flash cards for the sight words your child does not know. Have your child identify the sight word and then use it in a sentence. · Say – Write – Spell and Check This is a great way for young learners to memorize words and it is quick and easy. The child says the word, writes the word and then covers the word and writes it from memory. The child then checks his or her spelling after writing it from memory. · Sight Word Search – Circle sight words in the newspaper or magazines. Students could also point out and read sight words in books you may be reading together. · Fancy Letters - Use old magazines, catalogs, or newspapers to cut out letters and glue them down to spell the words · Sight Word Baseball - Draw four bases on a piece of paper or set up four chairs to be the bases. Pitcher selects a word. If batter can read it correctly, he moves forward one base. If batter cannot read the word, he remains where he is. Child receives a point every time he passes home base.
