Sight Word Review

Are you a visual learner? An auditory learner? Or a kinesthetic learner?  Chances are, you are a variety of all three!  In different learning environments it may be more suitable for you to grasp a concept by listening to a teacher, watching a demonstration, or performing a task.  

The kinesthetic approach to learning encourages students to carry out a physical activity.  In this fashion, the readers reviewed their sight word knowledge last week by writing many of the words in sand.  The student began by stating the word, followed by spelling it, one letter at a time.  The sand was colorful and reminded the class of being at the beach!

Shaving cream, finger paint, food (such as M&Ms or goldfish), or small coins are additional ways to incorporate a kinesthetic approach into your sight word review at home.
