20 Ways To Help Your Child Learn Their Sight Words. Welcome to my second blog in the series “Literacy in the Primary Classroom”.
In this blog I focus on how educators and parents can use games in their home and classroom to help children learn sight words successfully. When children begin Primary School they are usually given a list of sight words to learn each week. Sight words are the frequently used words that come up in beginner reading books.
Children need to learn these words by sight as it is very difficult to use sound knowledge to work out these words. In order to be a successful reader in the early years of Primary School, children need to have a good recollection of high frequency sight words. Teachers use sight words in all literacy activities in the classroom. Below is a list of 20 sight word games that can be played at home and at school. Launching Young Readers.

McEwan To improve students' reading comprehension, teachers should introduce the seven cognitive strategies of effective readers: activating, inferring, monitoring-clarifying, questioning, searching-selecting, summarizing, and visualizing-organizing.
This article includes definitions of the seven strategies and a lesson-plan template for teaching each one. To assume that one can simply have students memorize and routinely execute a set of strategies is to misconceive the nature of strategic processing or executive control. Such rote applications of these procedures represents, in essence, a true oxymoron-non-strategic strategic processing.— Alexander and Murphy (1998, p. 33) If the struggling readers in your content classroom routinely miss the point when "reading" content text, consider teaching them one or more of the seven cognitive strategies of highly effective readers.
