Sight Word Boxes
Simple Steps to Sight Word Success
1. Spend 10 minutes each night reviewing the words.
2. Make it a fun time by coming up with creative ways to practice (funny voices, silly games, i.e.)
3. Don't give up! They will get the words if you keep practicing.
4. Do not show frustration which causes your child to become frustrated with the words.
Library Books
Our goal is for students to have two library books read at home to them each week and for those two books
to be returned to school for Accelerated Reader testing. Each Friday we will have a class meeting to discuss
our goal and receive a small prize if the goal is met. Two books from home is the minimum requirement.
Feel free to send back more than two if you wish. Please make sure that you complete the AR form and
return it with the book so we know that your child is ready to test. Use the link below to print forms from
home if needed. ACCELERATED READER form
Math Fact Boxes
Math facts are similar to the sight words in that the student will review the cards in their box and
return them to school once mastery has occured. Mastery is reading the problem orally and calling
out the answer within 3 seconds. Students work on math facts at their own pace. Like the sight
words, once students master one set they move to the next set of cards.
