Lesson 4<br />

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 />

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 />

• Lucky Squares<br />

Mount a set of sight word cards on the chalkboard. Before the activity begins, prepare a page that has a sight word printed across the top.<br />

Draw columns for each letter of the sight word. Then, draw horizontal lines across the form to create boxes. Provide each student with a<br />

copy of the page. Each student should then copy a sight word in each of the blank boxes of the out line (the students will have to write<br />

"small" ver sions of the sight words). When the students have done this, provide each student with a num ber of markers. Call a letter from<br />

the word at the top of the form and then say the name of a sight word. The students should look for that letter and then they should look<br />

at the column be neath it to see if the sight word you named is there. If a student has the sight word you said in a box in that column, he/she<br />

should place a marker on it. Continue in this way until a student or students have a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line of markers on their<br />

forms. Students who have created a line of markers in this way must then identify all of the sight words in the line. You may wish to have<br />

the students ex change forms for each new round of the game.<br />

• Overhead Run-On<br />

Before the activity begins, write all of the sight words on an overhead transparency - leaving no spaces between the words. You may wish<br />

to add "nonsense" letters between the words. Place the transparency on an overhead projector, facing the chalkboard. The words should<br />

be projected onto the chalkboard. Have two students stand beside the chalkboard. Say a different sight word to each of the two students.<br />

They should then use chalk to circle the sight words on the chalkboard. Repeat with other pairs of students until all of the sight words have<br />

been identified in this way.<br />

• The Disappearing Word<br />

Mount all of the sight words on the chalkboard. For added motiva tion, you may wish to prepare an extra set of sight word cards to add to<br />

those on the chalkboard. Have the students look carefully at the sight words. Then, the students should close their eyes. When the stu -<br />

dents' eyes are closed, remove one of the sight words from the chalkboard. Have the students open their eyes and identify the missing<br />

word. Re peat this process until all of the sight words have been re moved from the chalk board and identified in this way.<br />

• Activity Sheet<br />

Select an activity sheet from the Student Support Materials. Provide each student with a copy of the activity page.<br />
