When This Is Completed, We Don T Do More Sight Words Until 2Nd Grade

There are approximately 240 sight words that your child will go over during their first grade year. There are six packets with 40 words each.

You will receive a packet of sight words in the nylon folder to work on at home. Please record a plus (+) sign if they say the word correct, or a negative (-) sign if they miss the word. Keep working on the words until they have mastered the words. (5 times correct in a row.) I will send home a new list as soon as your child has read the words correct for me five times in a row as well.

Once your child has completed list six, I will go back through all of the words one more time to check for retention. I will write down all of the words they miss. Then, they will read the missed words for me, and get them correct five times in a row. (Therefore, please keep periodically pulling out old sight word lists to review.)

When this is completed, we don’t do more sight words until 2nd grade.
