I decided to have him back up a step so that he wasn’t just repeating the sight word he asked for help on. If he didn’t know, he’d have to ask for help and go back down a stair and tell me those sight words.If he gets them all right, he gets to go up one step! Yay!.Henry must read all the words on the current stair he’s on.The rules I made for this sight word game on the stairs: I mixed up the colors so that it wasn’t all too easy at the beginning or too hard. I stuck the sticky notes all over the stairs.Īt first we did two sight words to practice per step. That way I knew the difficulty of the words and what ones were newer to him than others. I had four of Henry’s sight word lists that we were going to work on and I wrote each list onto a different colored sticky note. I color coded them, but only for my own purpose, it had nothing to do with the game. I wrote his sight words onto sticky notes. (We’ve also done a number game on the stairs.) I grabbed his last lists of sight words he passed in Kindergarten and made a game for him to play on the stairs. I noticed that some sight words have been forgotten… so I knew we’d need to review them before school started back up. Henry reads a book most every night either to myself or Dad, or even George. We really didn’t do anything to prevent the notorious summer slide. I didn’t realize how fast this summer went by.

Once learners have been taught the sight words, it’s great to hold them accountable to spelling them correctly. The next time I assessed, the learner got about, after, and again within one second. About, after, and again were also read the first time I assessed, but not within one second (hence the red horizontal line). So from my markings, I can tell that the learner read all within one second. Blue ink was used on the second assessment. Helpful Tip: If you use a different colored pen every time you assess (making sure to also write the date in that particular color), you’ll be better able to keep track of WHEN your learners mastered each sight word.įor example, in the image above, I used red ink the first time I assessed.
