“Everytime I see my brother stick his tongue out, I laugh!” Make Wormy WordsĬut pieces of brightly colored yarn. This can be challenging, so be ready to slow down with your child as they try to use their new word in a sentence and give lots of high fives when they can use it correctly! Have your child tell you an original sentence using their new word. Sight words are meaningless until we know how to use these words in our own conversations. For “never” they can wag their index finger at you while repeating the word “never” they read from the card. For example, for the word “myself” kids can wrap their arms around themselves and say “myself” while looking at the word. Bring a new word to life by creating a movement or gesture to help them build an association to the word. Act it OutĪll children benefit from acting out words. For the word “in”, you could draw the word “in” inside of a bubble. For example, for the word “my”, you could draw a small girl hugging the letter “y” to show her saying “my!” For the word “it”, you could draw a small creature that looks like a thing or an “it”. If you’re writing sight words or vocabulary words on note cards or pieces of paper, add a small picture or detail that might help them remember it.
