Dear Parents,

As we head off for summer fun, please keep sight words in mind.  Look for them in books, on posters, signs, or even at the grocery store.

If you help your child master these words and know them by sight, then he or she will be able to focus on the more important content words.  Reading will be more interesting, enjoyable and more successful!

Many of these words follow few spelling or pronunciation rules and cause children great difficulty when they begin to read.

Practice at breakfast or before bedtime, but always keep the practice quick and fun.  Helping your child practice their sight words on a daily basis will make a dramatic difference as they begin to read.
