Sight word/spelling/phonics activities

Find a word Scatter all words face up on the floor. Ask the child to find a word you say (e.g. find the word “the.”) The child picks up “the” and keeps the card if correct. See how many words your child can collect in a session.

Stepping Stones Use word cards as stones across a river. The player walks across a river, reading the word as he/she steps beside it. If the word is read correctly, the player takes the next step across the river. If the word is read incorrectly, the player goes back to the start and tries to cross the river step by step again. The aim is to make it to the other side of the river.

Snakes and Ladders The game is played as a traditional game of snakes and ladders with a few minor changes. Instead of throwing a die, the word cards are used. Place the word cards in a pile face down. When it is a player’s turn he/she takes a word card from the top of the pile. If the player can read the word, he/she counts the number of letters in that word and moves accordingly (e.g. three places for ‘mum’). Continue the game using the same words until there is a winner.

Make a Sentence The children place the word cards in a line to make a sentence. Additional words can be written on paper and added as is necessary. Encourage your child to leave a space between each word and read the sentence out aloud. Where possible change the sentence into a question.

How Many Words Can You Get? Hold one card up at a time. If your child can read the word he/she keeps the card. At the end of the game your child can count the number of words they could read. This number could be recorded and each time the game is played the new ‘highest score’ can be recorded.

Swat Lay your child’s sight words out in front of them and ask them to tap each word with a fly swat as you say them.

Hop Scotch

Place your child’s sight words on the ground or write them in chalk on the ground and ask them to say them as they jump from one to the next.

Mix up the order Make sure you cut up your child’s sight words and practise them in a different order every day. Learning them from the original grid format may lead to memorisation of the order of words rather than recall of the word itself.

Word Analysis Discuss each word and what it looks like. Does it have tall or short letters? How many letters in the word? Are there any tricks we can use to help remember it?

Sensory Play Hide words in bowl of rainbow rice or sand and students search for the words. Alternatively, get your child to write the words in sensory materials.

Rainbow Writing Write the word out on paper. Trace over the word in a variety of colours.

Colourful Words Write your child’s sight words in large ‘bubble writing’ and ask them to colour them in.

Card Games Duplicate your child’s sight words and play Snap, Go Fish or Memory.

Tactile Learning Place some sand or flour on a paper plate and ask your child to write their sight words.

Playdough Ask your child to model their sight words using play dough.

Front Door Recall Stick all of your child’s sight words to the front door and have them repeat them every time you leave the house.

Hide and Seek Hide the sight words around the room and ask your child to tell you each word as they find them.

Car Park Make a grid like a car park with your child’s sight words and ask them to place a toy car on the sight word you call out.

Noughts and Crosses Draw a noughts and crosses grid and write one sight word in each box. Ask your child to say it as they mark off that square in the game.

Bingo Ask your child to choose 6 of their sight words and play bingo as you turn over their sight word cards.

Visual Learning Ask your child to draw a picture to represent their sight word.

Letter Tiles Use magnetic letter tiles to make the words.

Minute to Win it How many sight words can your child say in one minute?

Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check Look at the word, say the word, cover the word, write the word and check the word

Silly Sentence Ask your child to use the sight word in a sentence.

Sight word Search Ask your child to find a focus sight word or sight words in a piece of text.

Password Make sight words the password to get into different rooms or the car etc.

Key Ring Place all your child’s sight words on a keyring and use this as a tactile tool to help daily recitation.

Word Targets Create targets with sight words for your child to toss a ball or beanbag onto.

Skittles Stick sight word flash cards onto skittles, and say the word as you know it over.

Second Steps Program

Lesson7A: More Feelings

Show the photo ‘This is Mikayla’ (go to Parent Portal on website). Her friend is telling her about a new game they can play.

1. Think about how Mikayla is feeling. 2. How does Mikayla’s face show that she feels interested?

(Her eyes are wide open. Her mouth has a very small smile. She is looking right at her friend. She is focusing her attention on her friend).

3. Pretend someone is telling you an excited story. Show with your face that you are interested in the story. Ask someone to show you their interested face. What do you notice about their face?
