First, I photocopied our current list of sight words onto green paper; students then cut out the words and placed them in their "wallets". They were allowed to decorate their wallet to their heart's desire. For the next few days students will earn sight word money if they can read the words. A student had a great idea that the dollar value of each word would correlate with how many letters comprise that word. A four letter word, therefore, would be worth four dollars.
You can do this activity at home each night; as an incentive your child could earn an extra story (a longer read would be worth more money!) if they were able to read their words.
