Get Ready for Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade with Sight Word Activities

WEBVTT

00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.320
Well, hey there I want to start out today With

00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:11.660
the scripture I can do all things through Christ

00:00:11.660 --> 00:00:16.039
who strengthens me Philippians 413 That was my

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:18.719
scripture yesterday morning and it just let me

00:00:18.719 --> 00:00:20.960
know that no matter what's going on in my life

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:23.960
or in your life You can do all things through

00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.679
Christ He will strengthen you. Well, listen,

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.219
hey friends and welcome to the education connection

00:00:30.219 --> 00:00:33.520
podcast I'm Robin Wilson and I'm here to help

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.439
teachers, parents, homeschooler, parents make

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.439
learning fun, engaging and effective. Whether

00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:43.439
in the classroom, teaching at home or tutoring,

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.079
I've got practical strategies and resources to

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:52.539
support you. But before we jump into today's

00:00:52.539 --> 00:00:57.000
episode, I am so excited to share with you, I

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.299
recently teamed up with the education Podcast

00:01:00.299 --> 00:01:04.180
Network. This means you'll soon hear a brand

00:01:04.180 --> 00:01:06.980
new bumper featuring the network the next time

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:09.959
you tune in. I'm so thrilled to be a part of

00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.140
this amazing group of educators and content creators

00:01:13.140 --> 00:01:17.760
and I can't wait for what's ahead. So the Education

00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.519
Podcast Network is a group of educators who also

00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:27.060
have podcasts and they love to share. the things

00:01:27.060 --> 00:01:30.439
they know and they love to share with other educators

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:35.439
the things that their guests know to the world

00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.420
and just share that experience with everyone

00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:44.040
involved and so I have been I have been invited

00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.579
and I teamed up with them and I'm so excited

00:01:46.579 --> 00:01:49.079
to be with them. So I just wanted to explain

00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.260
that a little bit. Now let's dive into today's

00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:55.599
topic. So this is a series that I'm doing about

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.959
getting ready for the next year and getting ready

00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.439
for kindergarten or getting ready for first grade

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.299
or getting ready for second grade. There's always

00:02:02.299 --> 00:02:06.519
a little bit of. I don't know if panic is the

00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.240
right word but if you have a little one going

00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:11.340
you're just wanting to make sure that they have

00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:16.319
all the things that they need to go into that

00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.280
new year and it's spring and you might think

00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.840
it's a little bit early but this just gives you

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.099
a little head heads up and a little head time

00:02:25.099 --> 00:02:29.479
to get going to have them ready because I don't

00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.060
know about you but summer starts in June. You're

00:02:32.060 --> 00:02:35.439
swimming, you're going to the park, you're playing

00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.379
with friends, the kids are going to camp, and

00:02:39.379 --> 00:02:43.879
this gives you a bumper, a little head space

00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.900
to get started to doing these things and then

00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:49.319
you can continue them throughout the summer.

00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.240
So one of the key things you need for kindergarten,

00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:57.879
first grade, and second grade is those tricky,

00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.340
tricky sight words. Some people call them tricky

00:03:00.340 --> 00:03:03.500
words. Some people call them sight words. There's

00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:06.199
several ways that they are referred to but these

00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:10.419
are the words that actually you can't sound out.

00:03:10.460 --> 00:03:13.979
You have to just know them. Now some of them

00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:18.199
you can sound out sort of like the word come,

00:03:18.539 --> 00:03:22.340
c -o -m -e. A lot of times the kids want to add

00:03:22.340 --> 00:03:25.099
that E to the end and make it say comb and then

00:03:25.099 --> 00:03:27.900
you just correct that to where they learn that

00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:30.780
that is come and the same with the word some.

00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.639
But some of these words can be sounded out but

00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:38.620
a lot of these cannot most of them cannot be

00:03:38.620 --> 00:03:42.219
sounded out. So if you've ever tried to get a

00:03:42.219 --> 00:03:44.919
child to memorize sight words by drilling the

00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.580
flashcards you know it can get boring. fast and

00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:50.639
so that is one way you can do it you can get

00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:52.580
the flash cards you can get the little index

00:03:52.580 --> 00:03:55.300
cards and put the sight words on there and just

00:03:55.300 --> 00:03:59.000
do the flash cards and the kids just need to

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.199
learn them but there really is a better way and

00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:04.719
it's always if you can make it into a game in

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.780
a game that you play kids start having fun and

00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:11.949
they don't even know they're learning So learning

00:04:11.949 --> 00:04:14.849
sight words doesn't have to be dull. In fact

00:04:14.849 --> 00:04:18.269
the more interactive and hands -on the activity

00:04:18.269 --> 00:04:21.370
the better kids will remember them. Well before

00:04:21.370 --> 00:04:24.250
we go into some of the activities you might think

00:04:24.250 --> 00:04:27.370
where can I find the sight words or are you going

00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:29.910
to give me the sight words? I actually do have

00:04:29.910 --> 00:04:33.100
a list of sight words. I believe it is on my

00:04:33.100 --> 00:04:35.920
tbt store, but it's quicker and maybe easier

00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:40.360
for you just to do the search You can find free

00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.639
sight word list online in many places and to

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.779
get started This is what you're going to search

00:04:45.779 --> 00:04:51.120
for fries sight words and that's spelled fry

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:56.879
apostrophe s sight words or You might also like

00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.740
to use Dulch and that is spelled D as in dog,

00:05:00.779 --> 00:05:06.360
O -L -C -H, Dulch sight words. You can use both

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:10.160
or you can use either either one of them. I've

00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.079
actually used fries more than I have the Dulch.

00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:15.519
They have a lot of the same words. They're just

00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.620
in different order mixed around a little bit.

00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.800
The Freisite words go all the way up to a thousand

00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:28.379
words and so as the years go I would recommend

00:05:28.379 --> 00:05:34.540
100 words per year except for kindergarten. So

00:05:34.540 --> 00:05:38.079
in kindergarten focus on the first 25 words.

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:41.819
and then for first grade continue with those

00:05:41.819 --> 00:05:45.120
25 and expand up to the first 100 words. When

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.220
you get to second grade you'll want to do the

00:05:48.220 --> 00:05:51.740
second 100 words and third grade third 100 words

00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:55.120
and then hopefully by then they will have enough

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.490
of the reading skills and the reading that they

00:05:58.490 --> 00:06:01.829
will be doing on their own time and in the class

00:06:01.829 --> 00:06:04.370
that they will be able to pick up on the sight

00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:07.870
words beyond that. But if not, you can approach

00:06:07.870 --> 00:06:12.029
it in that manner. Here are a few of my favorite

00:06:12.029 --> 00:06:15.750
sight word activities. So this is so fun. Just

00:06:15.750 --> 00:06:19.870
grab you some chalk and take it outside. Write

00:06:19.870 --> 00:06:23.490
sight words in a hopscotch pattern and have kids

00:06:23.490 --> 00:06:26.370
jump from word to word saying each one loud.

00:06:26.769 --> 00:06:29.050
Now I know where I live it's still a little cool

00:06:29.050 --> 00:06:31.750
outside and sometimes those temperatures drop

00:06:31.750 --> 00:06:33.970
here in Indiana and it's just too cold to go

00:06:33.970 --> 00:06:38.300
outside right now. Look in your house for those

00:06:38.300 --> 00:06:42.160
tiles or if you have carpet maybe you want to

00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.920
get some painter's tape that comes up really

00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.160
easily and put that down in the house and you

00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.160
can play it inside if you have a place to play

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:55.139
inside. But you're going to write the sight words

00:06:55.139 --> 00:06:58.759
in a hopscotch pattern and have kids jump from

00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.519
word to word saying each one aloud. And no worries

00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.759
if you're inside just grab your index cards and

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:07.800
write them on there. Just be careful when they

00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.680
jump on the sight words that they're jumping

00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.740
on the side of it because you would not want

00:07:11.740 --> 00:07:14.660
them to slip and fall hitting that sight word

00:07:14.660 --> 00:07:18.800
index card just right could take you down. I

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.660
want to say I might know that from experience

00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:25.519
actually in the classroom. So the next thing

00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:29.519
that you can do is flashlight word hunt. So write

00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:33.120
sight words on sticky notes and place them around

00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:37.779
a dimly lit room. Give your child a flashlight

00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:41.000
and call out a word. They have to shine the light

00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:44.740
on the correct word and read it out loud. So

00:07:44.740 --> 00:07:50.500
that's a lot of fun. The next one I want to talk

00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:53.600
about is Plato sight words so strengthen your

00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.360
fine motor skills while learning. Kids can shape

00:07:57.360 --> 00:08:01.740
Plato into letters to spell sight words and if

00:08:01.740 --> 00:08:04.620
that is difficult for them maybe you can shape

00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:07.939
them and they can read them but you maybe can

00:08:07.939 --> 00:08:10.500
shape them together working together they can

00:08:10.500 --> 00:08:13.259
do one letter you can do another and then they

00:08:13.259 --> 00:08:17.959
can read the words that you put in Plato. Water

00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.519
painting this is fun outside again. It needs

00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.399
to be a little warm but on the sidewalk if you

00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:30.860
use Sponges or even paint brushes on this sidewalk

00:08:30.860 --> 00:08:35.419
you can paint with water and paint the side work

00:08:35.419 --> 00:08:40.629
side sight words in this sidewalk excuse me that's

00:08:40.629 --> 00:08:43.429
a tongue twister sight words on the sidewalk

00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:47.350
or maybe on the fence or the side of a barn or

00:08:47.350 --> 00:08:51.210
something that you have sight word fishing write

00:08:51.210 --> 00:08:54.169
the sight words on paper fish or I've actually

00:08:54.169 --> 00:08:59.039
just put these on index cards attach paper clips

00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:02.539
and let the kids fish for words using a Magnetic

00:09:02.539 --> 00:09:05.480
fishing rod they read the word aloud and when

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.500
they catch one they get to say the word and maybe

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:12.779
they get to keep that card and If you have two

00:09:12.779 --> 00:09:15.620
kiddos playing or you can play along with them

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:18.379
Whoever has the most cards wins whoever catches

00:09:18.379 --> 00:09:21.759
the most fish, you know when you go out They're

00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:24.600
the winner So the key takeaway is kids learn

00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:27.899
best when they're actively involved in the process.

00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.240
So I didn't write this one out, but I do want

00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:33.679
to add this one in because it's one of my very

00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:37.980
favorites to use in the classroom. Get your Candy

00:09:37.980 --> 00:09:41.269
Land board out. You're going to use those same

00:09:41.269 --> 00:09:44.070
sight words that you put on the next cards. You're

00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:48.870
going to roll the dice instead of using the Little

00:09:48.870 --> 00:09:51.370
color cards. So, you know you normally when you

00:09:51.370 --> 00:09:53.190
play candy lane You're going to pick up the color

00:09:53.190 --> 00:09:54.850
card and if it says to blue you're going to go

00:09:54.850 --> 00:09:58.629
to the one that has to blue You're going instead

00:09:58.629 --> 00:10:00.009
you're going to roll the dice. They're going

00:10:00.009 --> 00:10:03.870
to draw one of the cards they have to read it

00:10:03.870 --> 00:10:07.049
and then they get to go however many number they

00:10:07.049 --> 00:10:08.809
rolled. So if they rolled a six they get to go

00:10:08.809 --> 00:10:11.070
six but they're gonna pick a card and read the

00:10:11.070 --> 00:10:15.769
card. The other thing that I've done is write

00:10:15.769 --> 00:10:19.309
the sight words on the back of your Candy Land

00:10:19.309 --> 00:10:22.529
cards. The problem with that is though and that's

00:10:22.529 --> 00:10:24.450
great if you want to keep that for sight words

00:10:24.450 --> 00:10:29.269
only. Is I like to use a candyland board for

00:10:29.269 --> 00:10:34.340
numbers? addition recognizing numbers you can

00:10:34.340 --> 00:10:36.860
use it for addition you can use it for subtraction

00:10:36.860 --> 00:10:39.220
so if you put your sight words on the back of

00:10:39.220 --> 00:10:41.179
your Candy Land cards then you won't be able

00:10:41.179 --> 00:10:44.799
to use those for anything else and so that's

00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:46.720
fine if that's what you want to do but it's really

00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:49.679
much easier just to roll your dice and go forward

00:10:49.679 --> 00:10:52.600
that many that many that you roll pick a card

00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:54.700
and read it and you can actually use that for

00:10:54.700 --> 00:10:57.620
any content that you're trying to learn very

00:10:57.620 --> 00:11:01.289
fun So we're gonna reinforce those sight words

00:11:01.289 --> 00:11:04.750
through games. Oh my goodness. This one's so

00:11:04.750 --> 00:11:08.289
fun Have you ever played whack -a -mole like

00:11:08.289 --> 00:11:12.190
at the Chuck Cheese or you know at a fair or

00:11:12.190 --> 00:11:14.009
something like that you play the whack -a -mole?

00:11:14.090 --> 00:11:16.289
well this is kind of like that they're going

00:11:16.289 --> 00:11:20.429
to whack the sight word but you use a fly swatter

00:11:20.429 --> 00:11:23.470
so it's called swat the sight word write words

00:11:23.470 --> 00:11:26.690
on index cards spread them out and let kids swat

00:11:26.690 --> 00:11:29.549
the correct word with a fly swatter when you

00:11:29.549 --> 00:11:31.370
call it out so that's a lot of fun so you're

00:11:31.370 --> 00:11:33.110
just going to call it out and they are going

00:11:33.110 --> 00:11:36.190
to swat the word if you don't have a fly swatter

00:11:36.190 --> 00:11:39.309
we have played tap the word so they're just going

00:11:39.309 --> 00:11:42.590
to tap it with their hand Give a little warning

00:11:42.590 --> 00:11:44.409
out though if they tap it too hard their hand

00:11:44.409 --> 00:11:46.730
will hurt and I've had that happen with kiddos

00:11:46.730 --> 00:11:48.669
they get really excited especially if I'm having

00:11:48.669 --> 00:11:51.190
two or three trying to tap the same word at the

00:11:51.190 --> 00:11:54.090
same time as a little competition that's always

00:11:54.090 --> 00:11:56.470
so fun but boy they get excited and they hit

00:11:56.470 --> 00:11:59.450
that table a little bit too hard and it can cause

00:11:59.450 --> 00:12:01.789
their little fingers to sting so just give them

00:12:01.789 --> 00:12:04.990
a little heads up on that. Sight word bingo.

00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:07.570
This is fun use bingo cards with sight words

00:12:07.570 --> 00:12:10.809
and play just like traditional bingo So listen

00:12:10.809 --> 00:12:13.730
if you don't have a bingo card with sight words

00:12:13.730 --> 00:12:18.450
already on it Easy peasy you can make a table

00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:22.940
Just draw out your lines with four squares going

00:12:22.940 --> 00:12:25.679
across and four squares going down or five squares

00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:28.340
across five You know, just draw it with a pencil

00:12:28.340 --> 00:12:31.820
and your ruler or your marker in your ruler and

00:12:31.820 --> 00:12:36.720
then You can write those words in there and then

00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:40.039
what you're gonna do is you want to do Three

00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:43.460
or four but do them different if you have different

00:12:43.460 --> 00:12:45.100
kiddos playing So if you have two or three kids

00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:46.740
playing you want them to be different so that

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:52.139
they don't all get bingo on the same round. Another

00:12:52.139 --> 00:12:54.299
fun thing that I learned from one of my teacher

00:12:54.299 --> 00:12:59.320
friends is give them the card blank and she called

00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.779
it wordo so this is really fun so wordo so she

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:05.480
calls out a sight word they have to write it

00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.700
in one of the boxes and they get to pick any

00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:09.779
box they want to write it in and you help them

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:11.820
spell it out or whatever put it on a whiteboard

00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:14.860
they're spelling it out until you get like all

00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:19.289
of the 16 words written. then when you call it

00:13:19.289 --> 00:13:21.070
out no because they're gonna put it anywhere

00:13:21.070 --> 00:13:23.269
so they're not gonna write it in the first square

00:13:23.269 --> 00:13:25.830
they're not they're gonna they have to they're

00:13:25.830 --> 00:13:28.529
gonna pick anywhere on the board to write this

00:13:28.529 --> 00:13:31.970
and then when you go to call out the word they

00:13:31.970 --> 00:13:35.350
will place whatever you've put you can use at

00:13:35.350 --> 00:13:38.110
home you can use macaroni's pennies you can use

00:13:38.110 --> 00:13:40.830
beans just whatever you have laying around if

00:13:40.830 --> 00:13:43.450
you have toy blocks that would be fun too or

00:13:43.450 --> 00:13:46.419
the little circles but you can really use anything

00:13:46.419 --> 00:13:48.620
that you have laying around the house. But they

00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:51.399
are writing their words everywhere on that paper

00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.940
so that when you call out a word they're not

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:56.639
going to have the same place. So somebody's going

00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.679
to get a bingo or a word -o and they won't all

00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.580
get it at the same time. can still do that even

00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:07.000
if you're playing with one child just it's so

00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:08.720
fun they just they're learning and they don't

00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:11.440
even know it rainbow writing have kids trace

00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.940
sight words with different colors to create a

00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:17.179
rainbow effect saying the word aloud each time

00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:19.419
so then you can help them spell it the first

00:14:19.419 --> 00:14:20.919
time and then they're going to go over it with

00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:24.090
different colors I've seen the rainbow writing

00:14:24.090 --> 00:14:27.389
to where they trace around it and color it in

00:14:27.389 --> 00:14:29.610
and then trace it bigger and colored in and go

00:14:29.610 --> 00:14:31.789
bigger and bigger till it's all rainbow. But

00:14:31.789 --> 00:14:34.649
I think if you're wanting to really focus on

00:14:34.649 --> 00:14:37.350
how to spell it, the thing you're gonna want

00:14:37.350 --> 00:14:40.129
them to do is literally trace over the letters

00:14:40.129 --> 00:14:43.789
right on top of it and that way they're getting

00:14:43.789 --> 00:14:47.980
that like if they're writing the word the they're

00:14:47.980 --> 00:14:50.360
going to be writing t -h -e in red and then they're

00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.759
going to write t -h -e in blue and then t -h

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:54.679
-e in green so they're going to get more practice

00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:59.559
writing the word the rather than coloring around

00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.259
it and decorating it. Both are fun to do but

00:15:02.259 --> 00:15:05.039
one is just a little bit more effective than

00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.059
the other. Word jump. Spread sight word cards

00:15:09.059 --> 00:15:11.820
on the floor and have kids jump to the correct

00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:14.240
one when you call it out. Now we actually call

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.679
this one stomp. So we call it, I was thinking

00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:24.340
jump and stomp and I said stomp. So we call it

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:26.100
stomp. So then you call it a word and they're

00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:28.720
going to stomp on the correct word. So that's

00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:32.429
a lot of fun too. sentence building with sight

00:15:32.429 --> 00:15:34.929
words so give kids index cards with different

00:15:34.929 --> 00:15:37.850
words and encourage them to build simple sentences

00:15:37.850 --> 00:15:41.809
so they're going to just call out a word and

00:15:41.809 --> 00:15:43.529
then you're going to make a sentence with that

00:15:43.529 --> 00:15:46.690
word or if you want to try to take the words

00:15:46.690 --> 00:15:49.830
and make a sentence and some of them may come

00:15:49.830 --> 00:15:52.649
out a little silly and that is what's so funny

00:15:52.649 --> 00:15:55.549
and they'll get tickled and all will be giggling

00:15:55.549 --> 00:16:00.230
at the end So if you're looking for even more

00:16:00.230 --> 00:16:02.830
