We will begin our Outer Space theme by practicing two sight words, “yes” and “no”. Using response cards is a good way to review sight words. It’s even more fun when your child gets to make his own!
Outer Space – Lesson 1
“I can read sight words. (yes, no)”
Objective: To identify sight words: yes, no. (RF.K.3)
Materials: index cards, craft sticks, markers, tape
Procedures: Tell your child he is going to learn two new sight words (yes, no). Even though the word “yes” is decodable, both words are to be memorized by how they look. Display the sight word cards. Have your child read each sight word and trace them with his finger. Then your child will write the words on index cards and tape them to a craft stick. Ask your child questions such as “Can you tie your shoes? Do you like pizza? Is the moon a planet? etc. Your child will respond using his yes and no signs.
Conclusion: Ask your child to read the two sight words again.
