I don't know about y'all but I'm always searching for ways to make learning sight words fun, and I am always in search of new ideas to get the kids to want to learn their words! The best thing that has worked for my kinders and their parents are my sight words mini books.
Our entire school year's worth of words are in this mini book. It measures 4X6 inches and has a card stock cover bound by a binder ring. The kids love checking off each word as they master it. I even included a note to parents explaining what sight words are and why they are important for kids to know them in a "snap." I've gotten a great response from my parents from these books each year. They like the ease and functionality of the little book and being able to move ahead with the words if their kiddos are ready.
This year, I might try placing stickers on the checked off boxes to add even more of an incentive for my kinders. Why do you think?
