After seeing how much my students improved, I wanted to share it with all the other struggling kindergarten teachers out there! Let’s get to it! I Googled so many sight word lists and ideas and finally created a system that worked for me and my class. (hello first year teacher problems!)įast forward to my third year of teaching, I knew I had to fix something. Every time I gave a sight word assessment, I panicked because I had no clue if I was “doing it right”.
We didn’t really have a way to “teach” the students sight words, it was just a list of words my kids were expected to know by the end of the year.
When I first started teaching kindergarten, I remember sight words were a beast I was not ready to tackle.
