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, begin<br />

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

• Running Story<br />

Tlingit-Haida-Tsimshian 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, prepare a stencil which contains the sight words. Provide each student with a copy of the stencil. The students<br />

should cut the sight words from their copies of the sten cil. When the students have cut out their sight words, each stu dent should lay all<br />

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

their desks should show the sight word to you. Then, those sight words should be placed to the side and other sight words turned over in<br />

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

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 />
