During Literacy lessons selected children who require support with their letter sounds, reading and writing have the opportunity to work with me (Mrs Feher) one on one for mini focus lessons.

Today, I worked with five individual students, we focused on a list of sight words, which are common words children will come across when reading and writing.

When children are beginning to read it is important that they develop a bank of commonly used words which they can recognise instantly, these words are best learnt through memorisation and repetition.

Any sight words which the students found challenging to read were withdrawn from the pile. We then worked with these words further, sounding them out and going through the letters and sounds within the word. To finish off, each student constructed and wrote a sentence using those words.
