By working in small groups, teachers can provide targeted instruction to meet the specific needs of each student.
This is especially important when it comes to teaching high-frequency words, which are some of the most commonly used words in the English language.
To make small group instruction engaging and fun, teachers can incorporate hands-on sight word games and activities.
There are many different activity ideas that teachers can use to help students practice their sight words.
For example, teachers can create sight word puzzles, matching games, or even a simple “I Spy” game using different words.
Hands-on sight word games are a great way to give students extra practice with their sight words.
When students are actively engaged in learning, they are more likely to retain the information and make progress.
Some popular games include sight word bingo, sight word tic-tac-toe, and sight word memory.
