Objective

By the end of this lesson, Dalton will be able to recognize and read at least five new sight words. He will also be able to use these words in simple sentences, boosting his reading confidence and skills.

Materials and Prep

• Paper
• Crayons or markers
• Space to move around for activities
• List of sight words (e.g., the, and, see, go, can)

Before the lesson, prepare a list of five sight words that Dalton will focus on. Make sure to have a fun and engaging space ready for the activities!

Activities

• Word Hunt:

  Hide the sight words around the room. Dalton will go on a treasure hunt to find them! When he finds a word, he will read it out loud.

• Word Art:

  Using crayons or markers, Dalton will create a colorful poster with the sight words. He can draw pictures that represent each word to make it more fun!

• Sentence Building:

  After learning the words, Dalton will create simple sentences using them. For example, “I can see.” He can say the sentences out loud to practice.

• Word Relay:

  Set up two stations. At one station, Dalton picks a sight word and runs to the other station to say it out loud. This will help him remember the words while being active!

Talking Points

• "Sight words are special words we see all the time in books. They help us read faster!"
• "When you find a sight word, try to say it loud and proud! Can you say it with me?"
• "Drawing pictures helps us remember the words better! What picture can you draw for 'can'?"
• "Let’s make silly sentences together! What funny sentence can we make with 'and'?"
• "Running and reading is super fun! Can you run and say your sight word at the same time?"
• "Every time you read a sight word, you’re becoming a better reader! How exciting is that?"
