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. Have the students use the Unit Sentence in<br />

their responses.<br />

• Spin The Bottle<br />

Tlingit-Haida-Tsimshian As A Second Language<br />

Lesson 4<br />

Group the students in a circle. Place a bottle on the floor in the centre of the circle. Place the sight words on the floor. Have a student spin<br />

the bottle. When the bottle stops, the student it is pointing towards must find a sight word for a vocabulary illustration that you show (don’t<br />

say the word). Repeat.<br />

• Sight Word Bingo<br />

Provide each student with a copy of the Sight Word Bingo stencil, from the back of this Unit. The students should cut the sight words from<br />

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

down on his/her desk. Say a sight word. Any student or students who have that sight word face up on their desks should show the sight<br />

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

until a student or stu dents have no sight words left on their desks. This activity may be repeated more than once by col lecting, mixing, and<br />

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 />
