Lesson 5<br />

Grade 7 - Grade 12<br />

Basic Reading<br />

Sight Recognition<br />

• Twenty Boxes<br />

Pro vide each student with a copy of the “20 boxes” form from the back of this unit. Each student should then use a pencil to shade-in half<br />

of the boxes(10 boxes in all). When the stu dents have completed this process, call a student's name and a num ber from one of the boxes<br />

on the form. If the student has that box shaded-in, he/she may "pass". However, if that box is not shaded in, the student must identify a<br />

sight word you show. Repeat this process a number of times until many students have responded. The stu dents may exchange forms periodically<br />

during the activity.<br />

• Blank Chalkboard Reading<br />

Mount all of the sight word cards on the chalkboard, in a vertical column. Read all of the sight words with the students, from the top to the<br />

bot tom. Then, remove the last sight word card and read the list of sight words once again, including the "missing" sight word. Then, re -<br />

move another sight word card and repeat this process. Continue until the students are "reading" the col umn of sight words from a blank<br />

chalkboard. This activity may be repeated more than once by mixing and re-at taching the sight words to the chalkboard.<br />

• Dicey Words<br />

Mount the sight word cards on the chalkboard. Number each sight word, using a number between 1 and 6 (a number may be repeated<br />

as often as necessary). Group the students into two teams. Give the first player in each team a die. When you say "Go," each player should<br />

roll the die and then identify any sight word on the chalkboard that has that number. The first player to do this correctly wins the round.<br />

Repeat until all players have participated.<br />
