Grade 7 - Grade 12<br />

Basic Reading<br />

Sight Recognition<br />

Introduce the sight words to the students. Match the sight words with the<br />

vocabulary illustrations. When all of the sight words have been introduced,<br />

begin the Sight Recognition activities. Use the unit’s sentence with the<br />

sight words.<br />

• Running Story<br />

Tlingit-Haida-Tsimpshian As a Second Language<br />

Lesson 4<br />

Mount the sight words on the chalkboard. Tell a "running story" to the students. As the vocabulary words are called for in the story, point<br />

to them on the chalkboard. The students should say the words as you point to the sight words. Repeat this process until all of the sight<br />

words have been said a number of times by the students.<br />

• Sight Word Bingo<br />

Before the activity begins, photocopy the Sight Word Bingo page from the Student Support Materials. Provide each student with a copy of<br />

the stencil. The students should cut the sight words from their copies of the sten cil. When the students have cut out their sight words, each<br />

stu dent should lay all of the sight words but one, face down on his/her desk. Say a sight word. Any student or students who have that sight<br />

word face up on their desks should show the sight word to you. Then, those sight words should be placed to the side and other sight words<br />

turned over in their place. Continue in this way until a student or stu dents have no sight words left on their desks. This activity may be<br />

repeated more than once by col lecting, mixing, and redis tributing the sight words to the students.<br />

• Deal!<br />

Before the activity begins, obtain two decks of playing cards. Give all of the cards from one deck to the students (if possible, ar range it so<br />

that all students have the same number of cards). Mount the sight words on the chalkboard. Hold a playing card from the other deck of<br />

cards against one of the sight words on the chalkboard. The student who has the matching playing card must identify the sight word. When<br />

the student has done this correctly, he/she should place that playing card to the side. Continue in this way until a student or students have<br />

no playing cards left in their hands.<br />

• Checkers In The Blind<br />

Prepare a large outline on the chalkboard that contains twenty sections. Number each box in the outline. Have the students face the back<br />

of the classroom. Mount small sight words in selected boxes in the outline. Call a student's name. The student should say a number<br />

between 1 and 20. If the box with that number contains a sight word, say "Bingo!" The student should then turn around and read the sight<br />

word in the box. If the box named by the stu dent does not contain a sight word, say "Pass." Continue until all of the sight words have been<br />

identified in this way.<br />
